Man’s body discovered at Easter egg hunt in Beaverdale

April 5, 2010 By O. Kay Henderson

Des Moines police say no foul play is suspected in connection with the death of a man whose body was found Saturday by two teenagers who’d gone on an Easter Egg Hunt. Over a hundred children showed up for the annual Easter Egg Hunt in Beaverdale Park on Saturday morning in Des Moines.

Two teenagers ventured away from the grassy park setting where most of the kids were picking up eggs. The teens took a path through some timber and it led them to discover a man’s body in a creek bed. Police say they do not suspect foul play in the death. It appears to be a suicide.

The 34-year-old man had recently been reported missing by his family.
