KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Police are investigating after the body of a homeless man was found Wednesday morning in Kalamazoo.
James Murphy, 57, was found on North Burdick Street by a passerby who thought he was just sleeping, but later realized he wasn’t breathing.
There are no signs of foul play. Police believe the man died of natural causes and had been deceased for an extended period of time.
A post-mortem will be conducted to verify the cause of death, but it may be a month or two before they have a report.
Witnesses say he often slept in the area where he was found.
