Man Found Dead In Petaluma Park ID'd

Petaluma police have identified the man who was found dead in Shollenberger Park Monday afternoon as 62-year-old Douglas Stewart Hall.

Hall, a transient, had been reported missing by a friend on Oct. 1, Lt. Dan Fish said. The friend, however, said he had not seen Hall since mid-September, Fish said.

Hall’s body was found around 2:50 p.m. in what appeared to be a small encampment in the underbrush out of view of a walking and bicycling trail, police said.

A passerby who went off the trail noticed the body and notified boaters on the Petaluma River who then called police, Fish said.

Hall had some personal belongings that included a pillow and a bicycle, Fish said.

There were no obvious signs or foul play or trauma and an autopsy was performed today, Fish said.
