Anchorage police are investigating the death of a man found early this morning lying in the parking lot of a Midtown apartment building.
Officers found the man with "apparent trauma to the upper torso" and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but paramedics determined he was dead, says a statement today from Anchorage Police Lt. Paul Honeman.
Homicide detectives are looking into what is now being called "an undetermined death," the statement says.
Detectives are interviewing several people from the neighborhood and are asking anyone with information who hasn't been interviewed to call the police department at 786-8900.
An autopsy is planned to determine how the man died. Police have not yet released his name as they are trying to contact his relatives.
Patrol officers found the victim after they were called about 5:25 a.m. to the parking lot of an apartment building in the 900 block of West 27th Avenue.
