Puyallup police are investigating a man's suspicious death near the Riverwalk Trail on Monday night.
Officers responding to the report of a fire along the trail in the 1300 block of East Main found the man's body at a transient camp. The man, who is believed to have been homeless, appears to have died as a result of the fire, according to Puyallup police.
Three fires were reported within four blocks of each other near the trail. The fires were reported within 30 minutes of each other. Two of the fires were at transient camps, the other was at a set of trash cans.
Several "loud booms" were reported to South Sound 911. Investigators believe the sounds were bottles of compressed gas exploding at the camp where the man's body was found.
There are no suspects in custody.
The man's death is being considered suspicious.
