Man found dead at construction site

BROOKLYN Authorities say they received a call for an unconscious male in the rear of 1676 Park Place around 5:30 p.m. Upon their arrival, police reportedly found the 68-year-old man unconscious and unresponsive with trauma to the head.

EMS responded and pronounced the male dead on arrival. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

The investigation is ongoing. Officials say the man showed up at the work site Monday, even though no construction was being done due to the Memorial Day holiday. Police say a co-worker the arrived and found the body. It is not clear why the co-worker showed up, either.

Police say nothing appeared to be stolen from the scene, and the medical examiner will determine if foul play was involved.
