Body of homeless man found behind library

TAMPA - Tampa police are investigating the death of a homeless man found behind the downtown library Wednesday.
Police spokesman Joe Durkin said the deceased, a white man in his 50s, appears to have been living behind the library off Ashley Drive east of Interstate 275.
A library employee discovered the body at about 9 a.m. and called police.
The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner had not yet determined the cause of death, but Durkin said investigators believe he died of natural causes, and they do not think the cold weather was a factor.
"There was absolutely no sign of foul play," Durkin said.
Authorities did not release the man's name because they have not yet notified next of kin.
