Published: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 By Michael P. McConnell Daily Tribune Staff Writer OAK PARK - Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found near the top of a 1,000 foot radio broadcast tower Tuesday. The man was reportedly wearing only a T-shirt and underwear when he was discovered on a platform on the tower. Police said workers discovered the body of a young black man about 12:30 p.m. after they scaled the tower at 20931 Meyers near Eight Mile Road to do repair work. "They found the body at the top of the tower," said Oak Park Deputy Public Safety Director Steve Cooper. "We have not identified him yet." Cooper said investigators would have a better idea of what may have killed the man after an autopsy is done Tuesday by the Oakland County Medical Examiner. There were no obvious signs of violence on the body such as stab or gunshot wounds, police said. "We're not ruling anything out as to the cause of death," Cooper said. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
