Police have identified the body of a man found dead a day after the Kentucky Derby in a barn at Churchill Downs. Adan Fabian Perez, a 48-year-old from Guatemala, had been working for a horse groomer since 2008. A Louisville police spokeswoman says there is evidence of foul play, though it's unknown if there is a connection to the race. "We are still trying to determine what led to the incident.
