Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rain in the Santa Fe area caused the arroyos to fill up, and unfortunately, one man was found dead in the arroyo near Cerrillos and Rodeo. According to the Santa Fe emergency manager, the flooding within the arroyo was thought to be a contributing factor to the individual's death. However, the man also sustained blunt force trauma to the head and was also intoxicated, and these factors also contributed to his death. His age is unknown.
