A man was found dead in Jordanelle State Park after a possible road rage incident, according to police

HIDEOUT, Wasatch County — A 61-year-old man found dead at the north entrance to Jordanelle State Park on Thursday has led to a criminal investigation.

The Wasatch County Sheriff's Office and the Utah Division of State Parks responded to a call about a possible suicide near the Ross Creek Day Use Area around 11 a.m. However, investigators concluded that the man's death was criminal, but did not provide information about the man's cause of death.

The sheriff's office told KSL-TV that only the victim's car was found at the north entrance, which was unoccupied during the fall. The man's body was found outside the car.

The office believes that the man's death is related to a traffic accident that occurred in the parking area on Wednesday at 11 p.m. Investigators obtained security footage showing the deceased man's car being chased by another vehicle and stopping at the park entrance before the man died.

Police will contact the man's next of kin before revealing his identity. The Sheriff's Office does not believe this death is related to any other suspicious deaths in Tooele County.
