 ORIGINAL STORY: 
 
 Juneau mayor Stephen "Greg" Fisk was found deceased inside his residence on the 400 block of Kennedy Street, Juneau Police said Monday. 
 
 Police received a 911 call at around 3:30pm Monday reporting a deceased person had been found inside the residence. JPD responded to the area with Capital City Fire/Rescue. 
 
 Fisk was pronounced dead on scene, police said. Investigation is ongoing. 
 
 “At this time it is an unattended death so it’s in the very early stages of an investigation," said JPD spokeswoman Erann Kalwara. "We haven’t determined if there’s anything suspicious or not.” 
 
 The City and Borough of Juneau cancelled Assembly meetings scheduled for 6pm and 7pm Monday night, according to a statement posted on Facebook. 
 
 Fisk was elected mayor in October, after securing nearly twice as many votes as incumbent Merrill Sanford. 
 
 Juneau Deputy Mayor Mary Becker said Fisk was a long time family friend and was devastated to hear of his death. 
 
 "He was a wonderful person and a friend and from the calls I’ve been receiving tonight, I’m not the only one who felt he was wonderful person and a good friend to Juneau," Becker told Channel 2. "It’s so devastating to have this happen, it’s basically unbelievable." 
 
 As deputy mayor, Becker says she will assume the responsibilities as acting mayor in accordance with state law. 
 
 "Our attorney is researching what kind of steps and procedures we will need to take so that we do everything legally. That’s all I know for right now," Becker said.

– The mayor of Juneau has been found dead in his home less than two months after he was elected. The body of Greg Fisk, 70, was found by his adult son on Monday afternoon and police, who have not released a cause of death, have been searching the area and interviewing neighbors, the Alaska Dispatch reports. Juneau police are "aware of rumors that an assault occurred in connection with Fisk's death. Those rumors are speculation," police said in a statement Monday night. "Detectives are actively investigating facts of the incident and all evidence is being preserved and documented." Fisk, a former state fisheries specialist, easily beat incumbent Merrill Sanford last month to become mayor of Alaska's capital, the Dispatch reports. Deputy Mayor Mary Becker, who says Fisk was an old family friend, will now become acting mayor. He was a "wonderful person and a friend and from the calls I've been receiving tonight, I'm not the only one who felt he was a wonderful person and a good friend to Juneau," she tells KTUU. "It's so devastating to have this happen, it's basically unbelievable."
