ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. (AP) — Police in a northeastern Detroit suburb say they have found a man's decomposed body inside a portable toilet at a Lake St. Clair boat launching site.

St. Clair Shores police tell WDIV-TV they think the man may have been homeless and may have used the toilet for shelter during the frigid, snowy winter.

Police haven't released the man's name and say the cause of his death remains to be determined.

The body was found Saturday at a municipal boat launch, about 10 miles northeast of Detroit.
