Homicide investigators are responding to the location to conduct a routine investigation, but at this time, foul play is not suspected.

“We got the call at 11:41 and the fire department had already been there,” Ballentine explained. “They said he probably died from hypothermia or alcohol poisoning, but they had another emergent call and had to leave.”

The man was not identified, but is described to be a white male in his 50s.
