Sept. 1, 2014

The body of a 63-year-old homeless Traverse City man was discovered under the North Union Street bridge Friday. Traverse City police and firefighters were dispatched to the bridge to check on the man, who was reported to be unresponsive. When personnel arrived, he was found deceased. There were no signs of foul play, and the man appeared to have died of natural causes. The victim's body will be taken to Spectrum Hospital, where an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
