Two Durango men were found dead Friday in apparent suicides, said La Plata County Coroner Jann Smith.<\/p>\n

The first incident was reported around 2 a.m. in the 200 block of East Seventh Avenue in Durango, where Calvin Maupin-Rickman, 23, was found dead from a gunshot wound, she said.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed the death, and said no foul play was suspected.<\/p>\n

According to his Facebook page, Maupin-Rickman is from Norman, Oklahoma; lived in Fort Collins; and studied at Fort Lewis College. He has worked at Derailed Pour House, Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and, most recently, as head of bottling and packaging at Durango Brewing Co.<\/p>\n

The second death was reported about 10:15 a.m. in the Grandview area, where Wolfgang Kofler was found dead, according to the La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Kofler also appears to have died by a gunshot wound, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still under investigation, but there\u2019s nothing suspicious,\u201d said Undersheriff Frank Sandoval.<\/p>\n

He was found when a friend or caretaker stopped by his house Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Autopsies are planned Monday or Tuesday.<\/p>\n
