PROVIDENCE -- A man was found dead under an overpass on Eddy Street this morning.

The police are not releasing the man's identity until they contact his next of kin. The dead man, who is believed to be in his 50s, was a transient and known to the police, who are working with the medical examiner's office on tracking down his relatives, said Maj. Thomas Oates.

The body was discovered at around 9 a.m. by a worker for Cardi Corp., who happened to be going by and noticed the man, Oates said. While the police and the medical examiner's office are investigating his death as suspicious, there were no outward signs of trauma, Oates said.

The weather was bitterly cold last night, with temperatures recorded as low as 10 degrees.
