Howell— Frigid temperatures may have contributed to the deaths of two people in Metro Detroit since Friday.
In Howell a pedestrian discovered the body of a man at the intersection of Fowler and E. Washington about 7 a.m. today.

While the cause of death has yet to be determined, the 50-year-old victim had a significant medical history, police said. Police Chief George Basar said the man's identity was being withheld until his family was notified.

Police said they found no apparent signs of foul play. According to weatherunderground.com, the temperature was 10 degrees at 7 a.m. An autopsy has been scheduled for later this week.

On Friday, police discovered the body of a 60-year-old woman near the Archdiocese of Detroit headquarters in the 1200 block of Washington. Linda Del Signore died from hypothermia, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office.
