McCOMB, Ohio An elderly man was found dead outside his home yesterday morning, although investigators are not sure what caused his death.

Paul P. Ochoa, 89, was dead when deputies were called to his home on Pleasant Township Road 115 just after 8 a.m., Hancock County Sheriff Mike Heldman said.

Mr. Ochoa s sister, Rosemary Ochoa, said she came home and found her brother lying on the ground. He was dressed for the weather, the sheriff said, leading deputies to believe the weather conditions were not the immediate cause of death. An autopsy was to be performed by the Lucas County Coroner s Office in Toledo.
