BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Police are working to determine the identity of the man whose body was found near Western Washington University earlier this month.
The University says the man in his 20s was found around 2pm on March 5th in a wooded area north of the Buchanan Towers residence hall, which is on the south end of the Bellingham campus near Bill McDonald Parkway.
He is described as a caucasian male, 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 190 pounds.
The Whatcom County Medical Examiner has determined the cause of death to be a suicide and University officials do not believe he was a current Western student.
