PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police say a 22-year-old man found dead along the Willamette River waterfront Tuesday morning after temperatures dipped below freezing died of hypothermia.

Police say the Oregon state medical examiner’s office identified the man as Michael Ellis of Portland. An autopsy determined the cause of death.

Police say they found the man partially clothed. Sgt. Pete Simpson says the shedding of clothes is consistent with moderate to severe hypothermia.
