Investigators are treating as suspicious the death of a man whose decomposed body was found Oct. 24 at the dead end of Michigan Court, off Magruder Road, Detective Lou Ronca said.

Telephone company crews found the man, believed to be at least 50, while clearing land.

An autopsy failed to determine the cause of death, but investigators said the man had been dead one to three months.

He is described as being 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighed about 135 pounds. He had no teeth but might have worn dentures. Detectives said the man might have had his teeth extracted about a year ago.

At the time his body was found, the man was wearing Levi slacks with a 34-inch waist and 30-inch length. His belt was leather.
