Juneau police say the death of the city’s newly elected mayor appears to be from natural causes.
Police Chief Bryce Johnson says preliminary results of an autopsy indicated that 70-year-old Juneau Mayor Stephen “Greg” Fisk had a history of heart issues.
The autopsy of the mayor found the injuries found on his body were consistent with a fall.
Fisk’s adult son found his body Monday afternoon.
Police have been awaiting autopsy results to announce a possible cause of death.
There was no sign of forced entry into Fisk’s home and police had tentatively ruled out gunshots, drugs, or suicide in the death before today.
The final autopsy report will not be issued until toxicology testing is complete which could take two to eight weeks.
