Sequim Police Department confirmed Wednesday a 39-year-old Port Angeles man was found deceased near the Olympic Discovery Trail on Saturday, Aug. 28.

Det. Sgt. Darrell Nelson said that passersby saw the unidentified man and called 9-1-1 around 6 a.m. He was found on the east side of Whitefeather Way by the head of the trail, Nelson said.

The man was identified as being from Port Angeles area, he said, but they are withholding his name until they can contact his family.

The incident poses no danger to the community, he added.
