The Quincy Police Department announced Tuesday the body of a Hispanic man was found outside in the 300 block of H Street Southwest late in the afternoon under suspicious circumstances.
“We’re probably leaning towards an exposure (to the elements cause of death),” said QPD Capt. Ryan Green. “But there was nothing that was obvious, as far as the cause of death, but definitely the extreme weather probably played a part in it.”
Green said the man was identified, but information wasn’t being made public until the Grant County Coroner’s Office performed an autopsy, which was scheduled for Friday. Once information is gathered from the autopsy, police will decide further steps, such as whether to investigate the death as a homicide.
In the meantime, he said, anyone who has information regarding this case may contact QPD Detective Jazzlynn Silva at 509-787-2222.
With winter weather continuing, anyone facing shelterlessness is encouraged to seek shelter during extreme cold. For more information on cold weather resources, visit https://bit.ly/coldbasin.

COLUMN: It’s amazing what you can learn ...
Four years ago, almost to the day, my wife and I closed on the first home either of us have owned, a stunningly Pepto-pink house in Ephrata with what we thought of at the time as “character.” It turns out, that character is really, in many ways, a lot of work. Work I hadn’t done much of since helping my dad out when I was a kid a few decades ago. Still though, all of the work I had to relearn or learn – thank goodness for the folks at Ace, Lowe’s and experts on YouTube – has been incredibly rewarding.
