[UPDATE 4 p.m.]Man Found Dead With a Gunshot Wound Near Salyer

Breaking NewsYesterday evening around 5 p.m., The Trinity County Sheriff’s Office and the Salyer Fire Department responded to the report of a man with a gunshot wound in the Tunnel Flat area which is east of Salyer.

According to scanner traffic, the first arriving units determined that a man was deceased and had an apparent gunshot wound. Several attempts to get the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department to comment have been refused last night and again this morning. Salyer Fire can’t comment and referred us to the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office. We know community members are anxious to know more information but we are unable to provide more than what was heard on the scanner yesterday. We’ll keep trying to gather the information and let you know what we find out.

UPDATE 4 p.m.: The Trinity Journal is reporting that foul play is not suspected in this death.

Suicide would not be considered foul play

So then there saying he shot himself? Because anyone else shoots you it would be foul play right? does anybody know where he was found out whether it was in a house or maybe his place or outside somewhere in the middle of like a yard or something cuz if you’re going to commit suicide I thought you’re going to go running around somebody else’s place to do it and I’d be sitting in my living room with a bottle of whiskey if I was going to do myself in so if he was found outside how do they do not consider Foul Play and if you was in somebody else’s property that’s so I don’t know sounds pretty fishy to me but theres to me things left unknown to speculate I guess

Perhaps it had something to do with the cartel grow up the drainage on the other side of the river.
