The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office was unable to determine cause and manner of death of a 61-year-old man whose body was found in an encampment south of Ridgefield in April.
Authorities estimated Jerry Wayne Whittier had been in the camp for as long as a year.
The medical examiner’s office ruled his cause and manner of death undetermined, according to a Tuesday update. Those results were previously pending when the agency released his identity last month.
Whittier was initially found dead April 22 in a homeless encampment in a wooded area near Northeast 179th Street and 10th Avenue, just south of Ridgefield.
