LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A man has been found dead in a portable toilet along State Route 93 in Lawrence County, Ohio.

Sheriff Jeff Lawless says the porta potty is near the old Rock Hill Middle School track.

Lawless says workers for the company that owns the toilet made the discovery around 5:15 Thursday morning.

The sheriff says it appears the body had been in portable toilet for some time, and that the man likely died of natural causes.

Investigators are not releasing the man’s name at this time.

Honey, you should know something about the people that are posting these nasting comments about your cousin: They have nothing better to do than judge people that they do not even know, they know nothing about his situation or anything about him. Just ignore them and remember you're a better person at 14 than they will ever be. I want you to know I'm sorry for your loss and I will thinking of you and praying for your family. See ya.

This person: Posted by: sally on Jan 17, 2010 at 03:22 AM could not be more wrong. She has no clue and is truly ignorant of what she speaks about. She should not be given a first thought let alone a second thought. I pray that God puts remorse in her heart for being so cold and cruel. MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A CHOICE AND TAKES AWAY THE SICK PERSONS ABILITY TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES. MENTAL ILLNESS IS WORSE THAN ANY TERMINAL ILLNESS. AND FOR THOSE OF US THAT UNDERSTAND HOW SAD IT IS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T TREAT YOU AS THEY WOULD IF YOU HAD CANCER. INSTEAD THE MAJORITY, OUT OF IGNORANCE, TREAT YOU AS IF YOU SHOULD SNAP OUT OF IT AND CHOOSE NOT TO ACT THE WAY YOU ARE. IGNORANCE.

TO the family: I can see that its been several days since the comments were last made, but just in case you read this. God bless you all and God has your loved one with him now. I hate to hear the painful struggle you all went trough and the helpless feeling I know it caused. I pray for your comfort and healing and a time when you can remember the good times with him.
