Tulsa Police say no foul play is suspected in the death of a homeless man found floating in water at the bottom of an abandoned ditch in the 1300 block of North Peoria Monday morning.

Police and the Tulsa Fire Department were called after someone spotted the man's body in the ditch behind a building.

Police say the man, who was a white male in his mid-50s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers say it appears the unidentified man had fallen in the ditch which was half filled with water and could not get out.

The man's body was turned over to the state Medical Examiner's office to determine the cause of death.
