Tragic Decapitation on Rio Grande Track in Royal Gorge
Early Wednesday a desconoced man was found decapitated on the Denver and Rio Grande tracks near the Royal Gorge after being run over by an eastbound train. Coroner and police identified the victim as John Cavan, a former Denver & Rio Grande section foreman, with a Woodmen of the World benefit certificate and a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey found among his belongings. The death appears alcohol related, with no immediate identification, and Mrs. Nellie Gilbert of Montrose notified as next of kin.
