Body found in Detroit encased in ice


It took two days and three phone calls from a Detroit reporter, but city authorities eventually recovered a body frozen in ice in an elevator shaft at an abandoned building, The Detroit News reports.

Charlie LeDuff, the reporter, writes that a friend tipped him about a body "encased in ice, except his legs, which are sticking out like Popsicle sticks." After checking it out for himself, LeDuff called 911 -- three times. It wasn't until a day later that he heard from the fire department, which arranged to meet him at the site.

Capt. Emma McDonald, who was among those at the scene, told LeDuff: "Every time I think I've seen it all, I see this."
