KENT CITY, Mich. - A two-year-old child was found at home Tuesday morning with the body of a 49-year-old man.

The man has been identified by the family's minister as Ron Finkler.  The child is not related to Finkler, but officials say that he was a family friend who was taking care of her.  A friend of Finkler found him after not hearing from him.

The toddler was taken to the hospital to be checked out but did not seem to be harmed.  It's unknown how long she was alone after the man died.
