An autopsy is planned this week to help determine the cause and manner of death. The investigation is ongoing, according to the coroner’s office.

The group was able to get the Graffam out of his vehicle and perform CPR until first responders arrived.
Officers took over lifesaving efforts when they arrived at the resort. Grand County EMS and members of the East Grand Fire District were also on scene to assist. The man died, despite resuscitation efforts.
