Two Durango men were found dead Friday in apparent suicides, said La Plata County Coroner Jann Smith.
The first incident was reported around 2 a.m. in the 200 block of East Seventh Avenue in Durango, where Calvin Maupin-Rickman, 23, was found dead from a gunshot wound, she said.
Police confirmed the death, and said no foul play was suspected.
According to his Facebook page, Maupin-Rickman is from Norman, Oklahoma; lived in Fort Collins; and studied at Fort Lewis College. He has worked at Derailed Pour House, Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and, most recently, as head of bottling and packaging at Durango Brewing Co.
The second death was reported about 10:15 a.m. in the Grandview area, where Wolfgang Kofler was found dead, according to the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office.
Kofler also appears to have died by a gunshot wound, he said.
“It’s still under investigation, but there’s nothing suspicious,” said Undersheriff Frank Sandoval.
He was found when a friend or caretaker stopped by his house Friday morning.
Autopsies are planned Monday or Tuesday.
