TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa police have released the name of a man found dead along a road in northeast Tulsa.

Sgt. Dave Walker says the body found Friday is that of 37-year-old Daniel Yochum.

Police initially were investigating the death as a homicide, but Walker said Saturday that an autopsy found no trauma that would cause death and the homicide investigation was suspended.

Walker said it appears the body was dumped where it was found and that Yochum's car — a black 2006 Nissan Altima with the license plate number 527 JFV — is missing.
