[VOA]

Police officials say they believe the man is Oscar Gabriel Gallegos, 33,
but his identity cannot be officially confirmed until after a
coroner's inspection this morning.

You can almost hear the reporter saying "PLEASE DEAR JESUS...
let this poor, lovely man be a US Citizen or a legal resident!!!
I can't report that there are some illegals that actually are
dangerous criminals that shouldn't even be in the country".

OK, in fairness, he might be.
But how does a coroner determine if person is a citizen of a certain
country?

About the only way I can think of is if he was already incarcerated
and/or worked a job that required fingerprinting and/or a DNA sample.

They "live scan" the dude's fingerprints. (Sort of odd terminology, eh?)

Bingo. Homie had a rap sheet about a mile long. He was not unknown lo law enforcment before taking his dirt nap...
