ERIE--- Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook has identified the man found dead inside of the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, Thursday night.
Cook identified the man as Michael Carpenter, 35, of Erie. Police say a manager found Carpenter unresponsive inside the McDonald's on West 12th and Sassafras Streets just after 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
"We're definitely going to perform toxicology tests,” said Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook. “That takes about a month for that to come back but at this point there is no sign of physical trauma or anything of that nature so it’s kind of hard to tell at this point."
Cook said he does not suspect foul play.
