About Me

My photo
Durham, NC, United States
As a photojournalist my principal interests are spot news, fires, etc. I also like to see the humor in everyday situations. In my 42 years as a photojournalist I have seen a lot of people die. First, during the Salvadoran Civil War, and since then, on some of the 'mean streets' of my adopted hometown......still, a great little town all the same!

Homeless man dead beneath Mangum St. bridge ...........

As police and passing motorists watch, 'Professional Mortuary' staff prepare to remove the body of a homeless man who apparently died from hypothermia early Saturday morning beneath the Mangum St. bridge above the Durham Freeway. Other homeless, who live beneath the Roxboro Rd. bridge, and knew the victim, said that they believe he probably froze to death. The dead man was draped in a threadbare sleeping bag and was laying on the concrete. Temperatures dipped into the mid twenties Saturday morning.
