Gurung was identified as a foreign national from Nepal who worked at a restaurant near the accident. The coroner's office said Gurung died from multiple blunt force injuries in an accident. Police were looking for witnesses and a suspect following the deadly hit-and-run on Highway 119 just west of Hover Rd. in Longmont.
