Mitchell Man Found In Parking Lot Died Of Natural Causes

Authorities in Mitchell have released the name of a 58 year old man found Thursday morning in the downtown area.

Lieutenant Don Everson is a detective with the Mitchell Police Department. He says the man has been identified as Mitchell resident Timothy Marvin Sattler.

"Sattler appears to have died from natural causes due to a medical event," says Everson. "It appears that he had a heart condition which caused his death and then Sattler then fell to the ground and when that happened secondary injuries were caused to his person."

Police responded to the incident after someone driving by reported a man lying face down in a parking lot.

Everson says the autopsy rules out any signs of foul play.
