'Heavily armed man' found dead at Colorado amusement park with multiple guns and explosives

Law enforcement in Colorado is investigating after they said a "heavily armed" man was found dead inside an amusement park over the weekend "wearing body armor" with "multiple improvised explosive devices" on him.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office reported that Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park employees notified officials the body of the 22-year-old man was found Saturday morning, prior to the park opening.

The park is located in Glenwood Springs, a resort city in the Rocky Mountains surrounded by the White River National Forest.

Walt Stowe, a spokesperson for the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office told USA TODAY the man’s death is being investigated as a possible suicide.

At least it seems that this one ended himself before he could harm others. If this is true, then he had a conscious and I feel compassion.

Jim Bridger or William Sublette this guy wasn’t.

It looks like he couldn’t role-play Alferd Packer, either.
