Edmonds police are investigating after a deceased male was found by community members in Southwest County Park Thursday.

Police received the emergency call around 6 p.m., police spokesperson Cmdr. Josh McClure said. Detectives had to navigate difficult terrain on the north side of Olympic View Drive to access and process the scene. As of 8 p.m., detectives had completed interviewing some witnesses but no other details were immediately available, McClure said.

Located at 17920 Olympic View Dr. in Edmonds, Southwest County Park is a 120-acre, open space park owned by Snohomish County.

 

  1. No approximate age, no obvious signs of foul play, no danger to public… Come on EPD and LPD – residents and park attendees deserve at least that much!

    1. The police department is conducting an investigation, which means they need time to determine the answers to all your questions. The amount of time they need is the amount of time they need. The people investigating the death of this individual deserve our gratitude and patience, not a list of demands, in my opinion.

  2. I agree. If Somone’s family member is missing, they should report it. If not it’s sadly possible that it was just a death caused by a heart attack or even a drug overdose. Neither of those are suspicious or dangerous to the public or foul play. A friend of mine who was a photographer in Arkansas was in the lowland mountains taking photos and he had a massive heart attack and died instantly. His son found him. No previous history he went there all of the time. Great photographer he was. Great guy too. And he didn’t do drugs or drink or smoke. He got lots of exercise too. I have mentioned here the antique button I have that has a bee on it. He gave that to me as well as large photos of these woods I am speaking of here today. About 5 years ago it was. Sad. it’s always sad when people pass. Sad for someone. I hope he didn’t suffer. As always selfless work EPD. You are great.
