WARRE (WWJ) -- Police are investigating after the body of a man was found along a creek bed in Warren.

Warren Police were called to the Motel 6 near Chicago Rd. and Van Dyke Ave. on Tuesday after someone walking by spotted the body on a creek bed off the Red Run Drain, and called 911 from the motel.

Police said the person was an adult man who is "possibly homeless." They do know who he is, and they're working on notifying his family.

Police noted that it appeared the man had been there for a little bit of time, but it's not yet clear who he died.

The Macomb County Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy, but police said at this point there does not appear to be any sign of foul play.
