{Louisville, Kentucky}...The discovery of a man's body Sunday in the stable area of Churchill Downs is being investigated as a homicide. The man was identified as 48 year old Adan Fabian Perez, a native of Guatemala. Jo-Ann Farmer, the chief Jefferson County deputy coroner, said Perez’s 19 year old son, who also works at Churchill, identified his father. Marc A. Guilfoil, deputy executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, said Perez was a groom for trainer Cecil Borel. He lived on the backside and had been licensed by the commission since 2008. Alicia Smiley, spokeswoman for Louisville Metro Police, says it doesn't appear to have any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself. Churchill Downs security called police at 4:50 A.M. after the body was found by a track security officer. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. Churchill Downs saw a record attendance of more than 165,000 at its Kentucky Derby Saturday.
