When they checked on him, according to the Juneau Police Department report, Milton was cold to the touch. They called the police just before 5 a.m., and when officers and Capital City Fire\/Rescue responders arrived they declared him deceased.<\/p>\n<p>There were no signs of trauma, Deputy Chief David Campbell said, and his death does not appear to be suspicious. Campbell said alcohol &ldquo;appears to be a possible factor,&rdquo; based on empty alcohol containers in the room and statements from the others who were in the room. An autopsy has been requested to determine the cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>Acquaintances of Milton&rsquo;s reported to the police that Milton had a medical issue, but Campbell declined to comment on the specifics of the medical issue, due to state privacy laws.<\/p>\n<p>Milton&rsquo;s family has started a GoFundMe page entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/clarence-milton-funeral-costs\" target=\"_blank\">&ldquo;Clarence Milton Funeral Costs&rdquo;<\/a> to help pay for the funeral and transportation costs of his family. The GoFundMe page states that Milton was a Navy veteran and a father of three, and that his five siblings and parents are looking for a way to get to Juneau and Yakutat. It also says that his services will be on Nov. 19 in Juneau and Nov. 20 and 21 in Yakutat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early morning of Saturday, Nov. 11, a Juneau man was found deceased in a room at the Alaskan Hotel.
