Longtime Las Vegas freelance writer is found dead in a container, police say

  • Las Vegas police found the body of 56-year-old freelance writer Matthew Kelemen inside a container on May 20 at a downtown business.
  • Officers responded after receiving a report about a foul odor coming from the container, prompting the discovery of Kelemen's remains.
  • Kelemen contributed film reviews and profiles for two decades, rented a room with his 63-year-old roommate Joseph Del Rivo, whom he described as strange.
  • Del Rivo died last week in a high-speed chase crash in Utah after fleeing at speeds over 140 mph, and police identified him as a suspect in Kelemen's death.
  • Authorities continue investigating Kelemen's cause of death and ask anyone with information to contact police as the case remains open.
