FREDONIA, N.Y. (AP) - State police are investigating the death of a 47-year-old western New York man.
The body of Brian Heyden was found two weeks ago in a wooded area just off Route 20 in the Town of Portland.
Authorities are calling the death suspicious. An autopsy is scheduled to determine cause of death.
State police say the victim was homeless and known to travel from his encampment just west of Brocton to Fredonia on a daily basis. Troopers believe he received a ride from a passing motorist in a white or light-colored pickup truck on the afternoon of April 20th. His body was found the next day.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 716-665-3114.
