UPDATED 2 P.M. -- CONWAY TWP. -- Livingston County sheriff¹s officials continue to investigate the discovery of a body on the side of Sober Road in Conway Township north of Fowlerville today.
Undersheriff Michael Murphy said they initially believed the victim was a Lansing-area man who lived in Eaton County. However, Eaton County authorities checked the address on the driver¹s license found with the body and discovered the person they thought it was no longer lived at the Eaton County address.
Murphy said authorities are now trying to determine if the 70- or 71-year-old man lived in the area where he was found.
Additional information about the victim¹s identity or cause of death remains unknown as of 1:30 p.m. today.
"We've been working it as a homicide until we can show any different," Murphy said.
Murphy said the man appears to have suffered minor head trauma that does not initially appear to be caused by a gun, knife or other instrument. He said police have not been able to determine if the trauma was caused from a fall, a punch or other means.
Murphy said the man was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and officials have not yet been able to fully examine the body.
Police said a passer-by called 911 Central Dispatch about 8:30 a.m. to report there was a man who appeared to be dead on the side of the road in the 10000 block of Sober Road, near Nicholson Road.
Additional details were not immediately available. http://bit.ly/bhNYKP
