Twin Falls Police said Monday that foul play is not suspected in the death of Dennis T. Crossman, whose body was found Sunday in Alan Jansen’s attic.

Jansen said he was shocked to find Crossman’s body Sunday morning in the attic above his rented home at 423 Idaho St. E.

“It’s freaky that he’s been up there so long,” Jansen said Monday after walking through the attic which has an outside door Jansen typically keeps unlocked.

Crossman, 45, was reported missing to the Twin Falls Police Department on Oct. 15, by his family after they last spoke with him on Oct. 3, said Twin Falls Police Capt. Matt Hicks.

Before the missing person report was filed, though, police had spotted Crossman in the area, as he lived in an apartment at 243 Idaho St. E., near the police department, said Hicks. “Because he lived so close to the police station … Many of us had observed him.”

Crossman had unspecified “mental delays” and was unemployed, according to police.

Hicks said police never got any leads in Crossman’s missing person report, though they examined the interior of his home and spoke with his parents to investigate.

Crossman’s body underwent an autopsy in Boise on Monday, where an exact time of death was not determined but he is believed to have died sometime last month, said Hicks.

Jansen plans on remaining in the home that he has rented for more than three years, despite the incident involving Crossman.

“It’s certainly unusual,” said Hicks about finding Crossman’s body in Jansen’s attic. “But he (Jansen) is gone from home a lot.”

Jansen said he didn’t recognize Crossman’s body when it was removed Sunday. He thought an animal had died and the strong odor coming from his attic was due to “poor housekeeping.”

Jansen said he plans to lock the attic from now on.

Meanwhile, police are awaiting Crossman’s toxicology results, which could take six weeks.

“There is no indication of a crime at this time,” authorities said Monday.
