Kirkland police don’t believe foul play was involved in the death of a local man whose body was found last week near Edith Moulton Park in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood. The body was found in a wooded area and it was there for about two weeks, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s office.

“There were no immediate signs of foul play,” said Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray.

The heat, along with the duration between the death and when the body was found, has contributed to decomposition, making it difficult for authorities to identify the deceased male, approximately between the ages of 25-35.

Kirkland police visited the home listed on the man’s identification and talked with the residents.

“We located the family and we are 99 percent sure we have the right person,” Murray said. “But we are waiting for dental records to come back to get a positive ID.”

The report is due back at the end of the week or beginning of next week.

Murray said that the man once lived in Kirkland but had recently moved just outside of the city.

Police are also waiting on a toxicology report to determine what was in the man’s system at the time of his death.
