A man was found dead Friday morning in Storke Placita in downtown Santa Barbara, according to the Santa Barbara Police Department.
Officers responded to the scene, which lies between the 700 block of State Street and De la Guerra Plaza, at about 7 a.m. after receiving a report from a passerby, Sgt. Douglas Klug told Noozhawk.
They found the man, who appeared to be homeless, lying on the ground.
It appears he succumbed to natural causes, and no foul play is suspected, Klug said.
The remains were turned over to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Coroner’s Bureau.
The man’s name was not released pending notification of relatives.
