ANN ARBOR, Mich. – A man’s body was found Wednesday inside a tent at an Ann Arbor park, police said.
Ann Arbor police said the discovery was made around 10 a.m. Wednesday (May 19) at the Bluffs Nature Area off of Main Street.
A parks worker found the body while going out to clear tents from the area, officials said. It’s common for people to live off the trail in tents, according to authorities.

No additional information about the man has been revealed.
