Detroit Gothic: man found frozen to death deep in in abandoned building. Found eventually:
Detroit police searched a vacant warehouse for about 30 minutes after receiving a call from a newspaper that a body was frozen in an elevator shaft inside, according to documents obtained by the Free Press.
On Tuesday, police logged a call of a “body in elevator shaft in mid of bldg,” according to police reports. They took the call around 4:46 p.m. and officers dispatched at 4:57 p.m. to an old Detroit Public Schools warehouse on 14th street and Michigan Avenue.
At 5:18 p.m. police reported that they entered the cavernous building and at 5:45 p.m. logged in that they did not find a body.
Detroit News reporter Charlie LeDuff called back Wednesday and police and firefighters found the body of an unidentified man, using saws to extricate him. His name and cause of death are still not known.
