Poughkeepsie Police have identified the man found dead in a neighbor's backyard earlier this week.

The body of 52-year-old Eric McRae was found in the city Wednesday near his Pembroke Drive home. Police say they were performing a welfare check after McRae didn't show up to work that morning.

They say the Dutchess County Medical Examiner didn't find anything suspicious during an autopsy Thursday. As of Friday, authorities were still awaiting the outcome of toxicology tests.
