Police and firefighters later found the tent on the land east of Planet Fitness and across the street from Alosa’s, north of Fort Eddy Road and south of Interstate 393, before the eastbound Exit 1 onramp. A medical technician, about 5 minutes after arriving, confirmed the man was dead.

Officers requested lighting for the area, citing low visibility around the site. Officers also could not identify the man and requested information about tattoos and other identifiers so they could match any to the man in the tent.

News 603 posted a video on Facebook of the police attempting to find the campsite.

Police were also sent to the Meadowbrook Apartments on Fisherville Road to investigate a report of a man who reportedly went to the apartment of his ex-girlfriend, to pick up some of his belongings, and claimed when he arrived, she pulled a gun on him, according to scanner chatter.

Around 8 p.m., the officers met with the woman and checked out her apartment, according to scanner chatter. About 15 minutes later, most of the officers cleared the scene.
