Police need help identiying man found at Beaver Creek

A man's body found at Arizona's Beaver Creek Campground has authorities looking for help with identification. The popular campground is on Interstate 17 at its junction with Arizona Highway 179, about 10 miles north of Camp Verde. On August 30, hikers found the man's body, described as being a white male, aged 35 to 45 years, 6' 1" tall, weighing 252 pounds. The man is bald, and wore a goatee.

Officials say the man's first name is Phillip, possibly haling from Florida or New Mexico. He caught a cab from the Flagstaff, Arizona train station to the campground, with one stop made at Weber's IGA store at Oak Creek. When found he was wearing two shirts, one tie-dyed, the other bearing the phrase, "Widespread Panic."

The medical examiner says the man died of heart disease.

If you have any information that may shed light on the case, police ask you call the Yavapai County Sheriff's office at (928) 771-3260.
