Victim appeared unhoused, officials say
Authorities determined the deceased individual was not involved in a crash or the fire, and appeared to be homeless. The cause of death remains under investigation, with no signs of foul play reported by officials.
Investigation and public safety measures
The ramp and surrounding area were closed briefly as investigators and first responders worked at the scene. Nevada State Police are coordinating with the Clark County coroner to determine the identity of the victim and complete the cause-of-death examination.

Drivers in the area early Thursday morning were urged to avoid the ramp until authorities cleared the scene.
