The Pulaski County Coronerâs Office has released the identity of a man killed Tuesday night in a motor vehicle accident.
Coroner Clyde Strunk has identified the man as Esau Diaz, believed to have been 32 years of age and living in the Knoxville area. Diaz, the coroner said, was identified Thursday afternoon by two brothers who had traveled to Pulaski County after being notified of an alert Strunk issued seeking assistance in finding the driverâs next of kin.
Part of the problem, Strunk explained, was that Diaz was carrying the identification of his nephew Alejandro â who ironically had been killed in a separate accident some three weeks ago.
