PRESCOTT, AZ - Authorities in northern Arizona have identified a man whose body was found behind a convenience store on Thanksgiving.

Prescott police say an autopsy found that 34-year-old Otis Clark, of Shreveport, La., died from exposure. Police say there were no signs of foul play, and a toxicology test would be performed.

Clark's partially clothed body was found about 7 a.m. Thursday.

Authorities say it appears the man was homeless and had been camping behind the store for the past several weeks.
