New London — Police on Monday released the name of the man who was found dead in a portable toilet at McDonald Park on Saturday.

He was identified as Christopher Coons, 30, of 72 Connecticut Ave., first floor.

The official cause of death remains unknown, pending an autopsy report, according to police.

Police on Saturday launched an investigation following the discovery of a dead man in a portable toilet in McDonald Park. Police said they found Coons after responding to a 911 call at about 8:34 a.m. Saturday. The park is at the intersection of McDonald Street and Connecticut Avenue.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Detective Division at (860) 447-1481.

According to police, Crone was driving east on Route 6 about 10 p.m. when his 2011 Chevrolet Cruze crossed the line. It first hit the driver’s side of a 1988 Lincoln Town Car, which had only a driver inside. It then collided with a 2000 Nissan Maxima carrying three people.

Debris from the first collision struck a third vehicle, a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe K1. That vehicle also had only the driver inside.

Medical personnel pronounced Crone dead on scene. Others involved in the crash had minor or no injuries. The investigation is ongoing. Palmiero is due in Norwich Superior Court June 27.
