The Craig Police Department has identified the man found dead Saturday morning at the base of the sandrocks as Craig resident David Burns, 53.
Preliminary findings indicate Burns fell from the top of the rock formation, but it’s too early to confirm the cause of death, Craig Police Department Commander Bill Leonard told the Craig Daily Press.
“This could very well be a case where we may never know why he came off the sandrocks,” Leonard said. “It’s clear that he did come off the sandrocks, but we may never know the reason.”
Investigators have not been able to determine the time of the fall, but Leonard said the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy is scheduled to take place this week in Grand Junction.
