Victim of ‘suspicious death’ at Four Mile Run Park identified by Telemundo

The body of the man found at Four Mile Run Park on Tuesday has been identified as Kevin Isaías of El Salvador by Telemundo 44, though police won’t confirm the victim’s identity.

Telemundo 44 was the first to report the identity of the man, and was told by his family that he was a married father with a daughter and a baby on the way. The family also told the outlet that he left for work at 6 a.m. and that they were clueless as to what led to his death.

The Alexandria Police Department has released few details on the incident, except to say that they responded at 1:27 p.m. that day and found an adult male dead in the water in the 4100 block of Mount Vernon Avenue in Four Mile Run Park.

APD classified the incident as a suspicious death — the second to occur this week following Monday’s suspicious death of a 50-year-old man at The Bloom building in the Braddock neighborhood of the city. Police also did not answer questions on that incident.

Anyone with information on either of these incidents can contact the APD non-emergency number at 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.
