UPDATE: Police Say Man Committed Suicide in Upper Lake Park

Port Washington police say a man whose body was found in on Tuesday afternoon committed suicide.

Police responded to the call of a man who was unresponsive and had blood on his face at about 3:30 p.m., according to Lt. Tom Barbuch.

A gun was also found nearby.

After a routine investigation of the scene, Barbuch said it was determined that the man had committeed suicide and died of a single gunshot wound to the head.

Officers are still attempting to reach the family, though they believe the man is from out of town at this point, he said. Nothing on the scene implicated his reasons for suicide.

Officer Eric Schmeling was on scene, blocking cars from entering the northbound lane that runs along the bluff of the park. Drivers can still pass through the park in the southbound lane, and the playground remains open.

Schmeling said officers called off a request for an ambulance after they arrived at the scene, and instead called the Ozaukee County coroner to work with officials to figure out what happened.
