The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a
53-year-old Chalmette man found in Sidney D. Torres Memorial Park on
Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Jimmy Pohlmann said.

A woman discovered the body just before 2 p.m. Thursday (July 24) on steps
next to a rock structure in the park, according to the Sheriff's Office. An
autopsy will be conducted to determine his cause of death. 

There was no indication of foul play, Polhmann said.

The Sheriff's Office stated that while there was no obvious cause of death,
that investigating detectives "suspect the man's death was self-induced."
