Yesterday, we told you about what the Denver Police Department understated as a “suspicious death” near the intersection of 8th Avenue and Navajo Street, an area captured in the graphic above (if you have problems seeing the image, click “View Larger Map”). Specifically, a woman’s body was found in a car’s trunk. Now, the Denver Coroners Office has identified the victim as Uyen Tran, a 34-year-old Denver resident. But rather than ruling the death a homicide, the DCO release states only that “an autopsy was completed by our office and the cause and manner of death are pending at this time.”
