BLOOMINGTON - A person who was found dead on Constitution Trail was identified Tuesday as a 38-year-old Bloomington man.

Michael D. Sealley of the 600 block of East Washington Street was identified as the man found dead Monday, said McLean County Coroner Beth C. Kimmerling in a statement Tuesday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:04 p.m. Monday. Police were called about 2:40 p.m. Monday when a body was found on the trail just north of the Emerson Street overpass.

Determining a cause of death depends on further study, specifically forensic toxicology results, Kimmerling said. However, the coroner noted Sealley had a significant cardiac history.

The coroner said earlier a witness on the trail saw a man kneeling in that vicinity within the hour before the emergency call.
