Authorities have identified a man whose body was found Monday night on Interstate 70.
Kelly Arvin Reeves, 53, of Lakewood was identified through fingerprints, Wheat Ridge police said in a news release.
The clean-shaven, neatly-attired man did not appear to be homeless, said Lisa Stigall, a Wheat Ridge Police Department spokeswoman. He was not carrying identification.
Reeves’ body was found at about 7:15 p.m. Monday in the eastbound lanes of I-70 near the Tabor Street overpass, said Stigall. Several motorists called 911 to report a body on the highway.
There were no witnesses as to how the body got there, Stigall said. Investigators aren’t sure whether he jumped from the overpass, walked onto the highway or was left there.
Police believe he was hit by at least one car, but he was already likely “down,” Stigall said.
No driver stopped or later called police to report hitting Reeves’ body, although many people called to report seeing the body.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Wheat Ridge police at 303-237-2220.
