GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Feb. 27, 2014) — New details were released Thursday after a man was found dead on a sidewalk this week in the Heritage Hill neighborhood.

Fourty-year-old Danny Lester was found Tuesday morning in the 500 block of Lyon Street NE around 7 a.m. when a passerby noticed him lying on the sidewalk and thought he was sleeping.

Grand Rapids Police said Thursday Lester was not appropriately dressed for the weather, only wearing a thin jacket, no gloves and no hat.  Officials said there were no obvious signs of trauma, and there were no obvious signs whether Lester suffered a heart attack or aneurysm.

Autopsy and toxicology results will not be available for about six to eight weeks, said police.
