Police identify man found in Stamford Harbor

STAMFORD -- The identity of the man whose body was found Sunday, April 1, in Stamford Harbor was released Monday, and police say there are "no signs of foul play" in the incident.
The man, Peter Spelke, 68, of 98 Southfield Ave., Stamford, was found dead April 1 in the water under his boat, police said, which was docked close to his home at the Stamford Landing marina, located at 78 Southfield Ave.
Spelke, who was reported missing on Thursday, March 29, fell in the water roughly a week ago in a separate incident, police said. Given that incident and the fact that Spelke's keys were found in the boat, police decided to search for him in the water around the boat, said Stamford Police Lt. Diedrich Hohn.
"With the keys in the boat and the recent fall, we targeted the water," he said.
Hohn said the state police dive team searched the water surrounding the boat Sunday and found Spelke's body at approximately 1 p.m. There are no signs of foul play, he said, and the incident is a suspected drowning. The state's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was scheduled to perform an autopsy on Spelke this week, according to police.
Spelke, who lived alone, was last seen on Monday, March 26.
Police continue to investigate the incident, he said.
Spelke lived in Colorado "for some time," Hohn said, and recently came back to Stamford in January.
