A man whom police have not yet identified was found dead yesterday sitting against a fence in a yard next to a house in the 2100 block of Parkwood Avenue, police said.

Toledo police Det. Bob Schroeder said the man, dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, appeared to be in his 40s or 50s. The detective said there were no obvious signs of trauma on the man's body and the death did not appear to be a suicide.

The body was found about 2:30 p.m. by a man working in his yard at 2116 Parkwood Ave., police said.

Detective Schroeder said the body had been there at least overnight.
