Coroner IDs Man Found Dead In Los Gatos Creek County Park

The 47 year old's death appears accidental, officials said.

A body found in the water at Los Gatos Creek County Park in Campbell earlier this week was identified today as 47-year-old transient Francisco Calderon, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office.

Calderon was found floating in the park’s percolation ponds off of Dell Avenue around 7:40 a.m. Sunday, Campbell police Capt. Gary Berg said. It appeared Calderon’s death was an accident because his injuries did not indicate he was in a struggle, Berg said.

A bike was found near the shallow water where he was found and it’s possible he rode off the land’s edge and ended up in the pond, according to Berg.
