GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Grand Rapids man is the eighth person in nine days to be found dead in the Michigan cold.

The body of 52-year-old Thomas Pauli was found this week in the snow at an auto salvage business in Grand Rapids.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of death, but it doesn't appear to be suspicious.

The victims were found dead in the cold between Jan. 17 and Monday, when Pauli's body was discovered. Four were older than 80.

The Grand Rapids Press reports seven of the eight victims were found outside. Many apparently fell on their own property and couldn't get up.

Ninety-three-year-old Marvin Schur froze to death inside his Bay City home just days after the municipal power company restricted his use of electricity because of unpaid bills.
