Man found dead near Martin Way and Ensign Road in Olympia on Saturday

A 33-year-old man was found dead Saturday in Olympia, and he was identified Sunday by the Thurston County Coroner’s Office.

Chazz Anderson’s next of kin have been notified, Coroner Gary Warnock said Sunday. The autopsy is pending, he said.

Anderson was found about 1 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Martin Way East and Ensign Road Northeast, according to Olympia police.

The body was found by a person passing through the area, Lt. Paul Lower said.

There were no obvious signs of trauma to the body, he said, and the area where the body was found was largely undisturbed.

It appeared there was not a lot of foot traffic in the area, he said.

Olympia detectives are investigating, Lower said.
