Juneau Mayor Greg Fisk was found dead at his home in Juneau Monday, police said.

Juneau Mayor Greg Fisk was found dead at his home in Juneau Monday, police said.

No cause of death was released, and police said an investigation continues.

Police said a man called 911 to report having found Stephen "Greg" Fisk deceased inside his downtown residence at about 3:34 p.m.

Fisk was elected mayor last month, ousting incumbent mayor Merrill Sanford in a campaign which was notable for its lack of rancor, with both candidates regularly praising each other.

City and Borough of Juneau officials Monday canceled a meeting of the city assembly that has been scheduled for Monday evening.
