ALBANY, Ore. (AP) - Linn County Sheriff Bruce Riley says a body found in a snowy driveway has been identified as a man from Albany.
Deputies and detectives responded Wednesday night after a caller reported that a stranger was deceased in his driveway east of Albany. The man’s wallet contained cash but no photo identification.
Riley says investigators have learned the man was 58-year-old Gary Russell, and it appears he died of natural causes. They are still waiting for toxicology reports.
