The Clark County coroner’s office identified the man who was found dead in a Henderson drainage ditch Sunday afternoon.

He is 52-year-old Suwit Kloykaom. His body was found about 3 p.m. in a ditch near Boulder Highway and Galleria Drive. Initial reports did not indicate foul play, but that could change later in the investigation.

The coroner’s office will determine the cause and manner of Kloykaom’s death.
