The Ballard News-Tribune received a news-tip this morning that a local homeless man was found dead behind dumpsters on N.W. Market Street early this morning.

The police just confirmed that they indeed received a call at 7:17 a.m. this morning regrading a dead man behind a dumpster on 2800th block of N.W. Market Street

Officer Scott McGlashan said the 47-year-old man was a local transient known to other transients as "Fall-down Ken" due to seizures and other medical issues he suffered from.

Homicide and Crime Scene Investigation detectives responded to the scene to investigate and search for evidence out of an abundance of caution but SPD reports that there was no obvious sign of trauma to the victim.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct their own separate investigation to determine the cause of death.

His death comes just mere weeks after another local transient was found dead at the Ballard Locks.

The Women in Black will honor "Ken" at an upcoming silent witnessing vigil outside the Seattle Justice Center at 5th and Cherry Street. The Women in Black hold silent vigils whenever a homeless person dies outside in King County. They take place on on Wednesdays from noon until 1 p.m.
