GYPSUM — A man was found dead early Monday morning from what appears to be an ATV crash, the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Antonio de Jesus, 25, was discovered dead in a Gypsum retail store’s parking lot before dawn Monday. Eagle County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene around 5 a.m., where they saw de Jesus lying in the parking lot and an ATV crashed into nearby bushes.
