Missing Man Found Dead in Ft. Collins Theater

For five days George DeGrazio of Fort Collins was missing. Police officially declared DeGrazio a missing person on January 9th, and searched much of Fort Collins including the Cinemark Fort Collins 16 on Timberline Drive where his red Nissan Xterra was parked. Police found nothing, but employees of the theater soon did. Theater employees noticed a bad odor coming from a family restroom, and they reported it to the managers. The managers eventually broke the lock and found DeGrazio.

Family members told 7News in Denver that they want to know why employees didn't check the theater top-to-bottom after police searched the area, asking businesses if they'd seen the missing man. "If I had the police department saying somebody disappeared in this area and we're trying to locate him, I would be searching every nook and cranny of my establishment," said Dylan DeGrazio, the dead man's son. "But that didn't happen."

A Sunday autopsy showed DeGrazio died from natural causes, a heart attack caused by severe coronary artery disease, the coroner said.
