The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a man police said was hit by a train last month in downtown Las Vegas.

Dennis Geary, 60, was found by Metropolitan Police Department officers just before 1 a.m. May 12 on the railroad tracks near Main Street and Bonneville Avenue, where police said he was suffering from a head wound.

Police said at the time they believed Geary was homeless. The cause and manner of Geary’s death has not yet been ruled on by the coroner’s office.
