BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Police say exposure likely played a role in the death of a man whose body was found in a sleeping bag outside a business complex in Billings during a cold snap.

Billings Police Sgt. Harley Cagle said in a statement that police responding to reports of a deceased individual found the victim lying in some bushes Tuesday afternoon.

Temperatures were in the single digits in Billings Tuesday morning after dropping below zero earlier in the week.
