HOMELESS MAN FOUND DEAD

Author(s):    KARLA KINGSLEY Date: January 31, 2003 Page: B2 Section: Metro/Region
BROCKTON - Officials said a homeless man was found dead Wednesday, possibly the second homeless death in the Boston area during the recent deep-freeze. The man, whose name was not released, was found by firefighters near the Deftos Liquor Store in Brockton.

"When they arrived, it was obvious that the gentleman had been deceased for quite a while," said Fire Chief Tom Stone of the Easton department. Firefighters discovered the man while responding to a call about a fire.

The cause or time of death has not been determined, said Brockton police Lieutenant William Conlon, but foul play is not suspected.

Dennis Carman, executive director of the MainSpring Coalition for the Homeless in Brockton, said the victim had come to the shelter in the past.
