Police: Man Found Dead On Madison Porch After Drinking

House Located Near Camp Randall

UPDATED: 6:13 am CDT August 18, 2008

Authorities are investigating after a man was found dead on a porch Saturday after a night of drinking.

The house is near the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The man was discovered at a house attached to the Triangle Fraternity house, located across the street from Camp Randall Stadium.

A person who lives there called 911 about 5 p.m. Saturday after finding the man on the porch, not breathing.

Authorities said the caller told them the two had been moving into the house Friday and spent the night drinking.

Neighbors said the victim didn't live at the house but was helping a friend move in.

Police said they don't suspect foul play. The Dane County coroner is expected to perform an autopsy.

The Triangle Fraternity chapter president said the fraternity is cooperating with authorities.
