VALPARAISO - Police say a man has been found dead in a snowbank in Valparaiso following this week’s snowstorm. He has been identified, but the Porter County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday it cannot release his name or provide other information about him until his family is notified. The department says the case remains an “open investigation.” Porter County Coroner Cyndi Dykes says a Valparaiso property owner found the man’s body Tuesday evening in a snowbank, and an autopsy is scheduled for Thursday. The man’s body was found after a storm dropped up to 18 inches of snow around Valparaiso.
