The 41-year-old was discovered Thursday morning behind his home in Hamburg Township, about 35 miles west of Detroit, when a co-worker arrived to pick him up.

That's so awful. I'm surprised more of this hasn't happened because of our severe winters here in the USA. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

A woman was found face down on her porch earlier today in Michigan, frozen to death.
It is sooo cold here. Was 25 below zero here at noon today! Not figuring in the wind chill factor.

That is strange. It would make for the base of a very good murder mystery.

Ohhhhhhhhh that is so sad!!!

There was a poor man last year that was wheelchair bound and trying to get out to his mail... He fell out of his wheelchair and froze to death.

My heart breaks when I hear of stuff like this. It's a horrific reminder to check on your neighbors during bad weather, make sure everyone's doing ok.

Soooo horrible and tragic! This has got to be one of the worst, most bitterly cold winters in history! Yes, it is very heartbreaking to hear such stories......I really worry about the homeless in this treacherous weather.
Debby O. Jan 16, 2009, 3:31pm UTC
It doesn't take long in these temperatures!
Deloris Wright Jan 16, 2009, 10:09pm UTC
That is why Col george and I are going to go to Texas in the winter time and back up here to Montana in the warm weather. We just can't stand this awfual cold
