Conor Anderson cause of death: What happened?

Police have said there are no immediate indications of foul play, after they found Conor Anderson's body. However, an exact cause of death has not been provided yet. Once the medical examiner completes the autopsy, the cause of death will be determined.

Anderson's last recorded interaction was with two cops, he'd flagged down. It took place near Woodland and Main streets and Anderson pointed to a conversation he'd had with some men outside the bar.

Anderson claimed he'd given $20 to show him the neighborhood. During the interaction with cops, one officer pointed to some inconsistencies in his version of events and asked if he was looking to buy drugs. Anderson had said ‘no’.

One of the officers told Anderson he wasn't making any sense and that he appeared to be heavily intoxicated. When Anderson was asked for a driver's license to file a formal report, he refused. He was told to take a rideshare and return to his hotel – the Millennium Maxwell House hotel. While Anderson agreed to this, he reportedly never showed up there.

Now, his body has been found less than a mile away from where he was last seen.
