TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Pima County authorities say the extreme cold temperatures may have led to the death of a 50-year-old homeless man.

Deputies found the man's body in the desert Foothills area Wednesday morning behind a grocery store at River Road and La Canada Drive.

Homicide detectives were brought in to investigate, however they say the death appears to be medical in nature. An autopsy is planned.
