A 36-year-old man who was found dead in Lacey last week has been identified, according to the Thurston County coroner.

About 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Devin Boysen of Thurston County was discovered in a portable toilet in the parking lot of the Lacey Timberland library.

Coroner Gary Warnock said Sunday the man has been medically examined, although a cause of death won’t be determined until his office receives the results of a toxicology report.

Lacey police Sgt. Jeremy Knight added Sunday that there was evidence of drug paraphernalia in the area.
