RRPD Capt. Jacquelynn Reedy identified Francisco Vieyra-Diaz as the deceased male. A cause of death has not been released, but foul play is still not suspected.
The Rio Rancho Police Department investigated the death found near the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Calor Road early that Thursday morning, according to a previous Observer story.
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 Reedy.
