Body discovered on Northern Boulevard
A section of Northern Boulevard remains closed around 9 a.m. Thursday as police investigate the discovery of a male body. The road was originally closed due to debris obstructing it, and the body was discovered around 5 a.m. when crews arrived to clear the roadway.
RIO RANCHO — The Rio Rancho Police Department is investigating the death of an adult male found near the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Calor Road early Thursday morning.
Road crews discovered the body among debris around 5 a.m. when they responded to assess and clear the roadway. It had been blocked off earlier in the morning due to rainwater washing debris across it, according to an email from RRPD Capt. Jacquelynn Reedy.
No foul play is suspected, and the identity of the body is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
RRPD announced via social media at about 1:30 p.m. that the roadway was back open.
