Man found shot to death outside rural lodge bunkhouse

Alaska State Troopers say a 56-year-old man died in an apparent shooting outside the bunkhouse of the Port William Wilderness Lodge on Shuyak Island near Kodiak.

Troopers found the body Tuesday after receiving a request to conduct a welfare check.

A web posting says a suspect was identified, and this person was later arrested in Anchorage.

Anchorage police say in an email to The Associated Press that the man was arrested on unrelated warrants early Thursday morning, and is being held without bond because one of the warrants was for a parole violation.

The body of the man shot will be sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. The man’s identity has not released, and officials are attempting to find relatives.

Troopers are working with the Kodiak District Attorney’s Office on other possible charges.
