Fairfax Man Found Dead in Creek

SAN RAFAEL, CA — A body found floating Thursday in San Rafael Creek was identified Friday by the Marin County Coroner's Office as a 41-year-old Fairfax man.

Chief Deputy Coroner Darrell Harris said that just before 7:30 a.m. Thursday, a passing boater spotted the body of an adult Caucasian male floating in the creek near 145 3rd St.

Harris said paramedics with the San Rafael Fire Department responded to the scene and confirmed the man was dead.

On Friday, Harris identified the deceased as John Gregory Dunselman of Fairfax.

"Mr. Dunselman was seen in the area the prior evening and his vehicle was located in a parking lot off Harbor St., adjacent to the creek," Harris said. "Mr. Dunselman’s wallet and other personal property were all accounted for."

The cause and manner of Dunselman's death remained under investigation Friday.

Dunselman had no outward signs of trauma to his body, Harris said, and investigators did not immediately find anything pointing to foul play.

It was noted that Dunselman had a history of various medical issues and prior contact with law enforcement.

A forensic examination and toxicology testing will be performed in an effort to determine how he died, Harris said.
