Man Found Dead Inside Port-A-Potty; Lived There For Months As Shelter During Cold Winter...

[Jesus Malverde]

An autopsy is planned for an elderly man who was found dead inside a portable toilet that he might have been living in for months.

The man’s remains were discovered Sunday by a security guard at a municipal boat launch on 9 Mile Road near Jefferson Avenue in St. Clair Shores, just outside the Detroit city limit.

Police said there were no obvious signs of foul play or trauma to the man’s body. An autopsy will be conducted Tuesday to determine a cause of death

Police said the remains were so decomposed, it appears the man could have been dead inside the portable toilet for about five months. Investigators also believe the man might have been using the portable toilet as a shelter during the cold winter. His identity is still not known.

6. That may endure as an iconic image of this Depression in the same way...

... the family who lived in a hole in the ground ( I think it's in Studs Terkel's book) did so for the last Depression.

7. Ah...The bipartisan plan for the homeless. Die miserably and die out of sight.

8. I'm betting he was a respectable man who served his country

Man to man is so unjust

10. So sad.

So ghastly and easily preventable.

Spending the last few months of your life living in a portable toilet.

Mindboggling.

11. Damn. I lived in St. Clair Shores.

Horrible to think he was living in a plastic "box"? I think there are several senior homes near there. The area discussed (9 mile and Jefferson, Macomb County) actually borders on affluent Grosse Pointe Shores, not Detroit. Still a tragedy.

Who would have thought that a CBS site would be a fucking septic tank of Obama-hating scum?

18. Boat ramp closed up in October; he probably died soon thereafter

He was dead during most of the cold winter.

19. i had no money so i used a card to buy a homeless man lunch today.

It was extra ordinary how much it didn't make me feel better. I could not give him and his dog a home. I looked at his lab and saw GOd's eyes looking back at me. Do you understand?

[Jesus Malverde]

20. Many times.

There are many people living on the margins of society. We don't really have a place for them and they are forced into a perpetual migration to keep the law at bay.
