NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say a 51-year-old man whose body was found behind a southern Indiana shopping center froze to death.

Sanitation company workers found Richard Glotzbach's body on the ground outside his pickup truck at a New Albany shopping plaza before dawn Wednesday.

City police Capt. Keith Whitlow says a preliminary autopsy ruling was that Glotzbach died of hypothermia, although it also found that underlying health problems contributed to his death.

Bernie Glotzbach said his brother had been disabled since suffering an aneurism when he was 39.

Temperatures dropped to the lower teens early Wednesday in the area just north of Louisville, Ky.
