Just weeks after he took office, the mayor of Alaska's capital has been found dead, prompting a flurry of rumors that he was assaulted.

"Those rumors are speculation," the Juneau Police Department said. "Detectives are actively investigating facts of the incident, and all evidence is being preserved and documented."

This much police will say: Juneau Mayor Stephen "Greg" Fisk, 70, didn't commit suicide, Chief Bryce Johnson told the Juneau Empire. And there were no signs of forced entry into his house.

Any other answers will have to come from investigators and the autopsy report, which is expected within several days.

Police said Fisk was found Monday by his adult son, who called 911.

When the son opened the door of his father's house, he started shouting, neighbors Don and Janet Kussart told the Juneau Empire.

The Kussarts said they live so close to Fisk's house, they can hear his doors slam. The couple said they didn't hear anything that sounded like an assault.

1. At least it's not being covered up right away by the authorities.

As Rachel says, watch this space.

2. It appears he was a lefty.

During the 2015 Juneau mayoral race, Fisk stated that he generally supports raising the minimum wage. Fisk voted to legalize recreational use of marijuana in Alaska. Fisk also supported enacting a ban on discrimination against the gay community in housing and other public accommodation, and stated that he believes human activity is contributing to climate change.[11]

My condolences to his family and friends.
