An autopsy found no trauma to the body of a man who died in Torres Park in Chalmette on Thursday but no specific cause of death was determined pending toxicology tests which could take weeks for results, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

The 53-year old Chalmette man, identified as Gary Casey, was found on steps next to the rock structure in Torres Park, the sheriff said.

There was no indication of foul play at the scene or that anyone else was involved, the sheriff said, adding it was suspected Casey’s death may have been caused by something he ingested.
