Ray Shupe, spokesman for the Durango Police Department. There were no obvious signs of trauma or foul play, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like he walked to that location and collapsed there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>An autopsy is scheduled Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Ackleson was living a transient lifestyle in Durango, Shupe said.
