NORTH OLMSTED, OH — A 51-year-old Lakewood man was found dead at a Motel 6 on Sunday.

It's not yet clear what caused the man's death, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's office told Patch. He is scheduled for an autopsy this week.

Employees at the motel were unable to rouse the man in his room, so they asked North Olmsted police to do a welfare check. When officers got into the room, the man was already dead.
