A 49-year-old man was found dead Monday afternoon inside a portable toilet in Hardesty Park in Akron.

Akron officers and EMS personnel responded about 1 p.m. to a call from a visitor at the park who said an unresponsive male was in a Porta Potty. Moments after arriving on the scene, officers found the man and emergency medical responders determined he was dead.

Officers say the man may have experienced a medical emergency. Foul play doesn't appear to be a factor, according to police.

The identification of the man is being withheld pending further investigation.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-375-2490 or 330-375-2Tip. Citizens may also provide anonymous information by calling the Summit County Crimestoppers at 330-434-COPS. For tips, text TIPSCO to 274637.
