A 37-year-old Juneau man died Thursday at his cabin in Haines of apparent natural causes, according to the Alaska State Troopers.
The deceased was identified as Timothy Enoch Tong.
The Haines Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call at 6:45 p.m. from a home whose address was not identified.
For approximately one hour, paramedics performed CPR but the victim was later pronounced dead. No foul play was suspected, according to a press release.
Known as “Tim the Mechanic,” Tong was born in Texarkana, Texas in 1979. He was a graduate of South Shore High School in South Shore, S.D. and later served in the U.S. Air Force as an aerospace ground equipment repairman.
Tong was employed for 10years by Alaska Juneau Construction in Juneau and was an avid snowmobiler who often went four-wheeling with his daughter, Cheyenne, and drove around with his dog, Georgie.
The body will be sent to the State Medical Examiner Office for an autopsy.
