8/20/13 - It will be a few weeks before local authorities can determine exactly what happened to a man found dead inside of a van on wooded property near Ore Lake in Hamburg Township. The body of 56-year-old Timothy Mark Gilders was discovered one week ago on rural property near Hamburg and Cowell Roads. His last address was in South Lyon but family and friends say he had been living out of the van. Preliminary autopsy results proved inconclusive and toxicology reports typically take between six and eight weeks, which Hamburg Township Police Chief Rick Duffany says will help them determine an official cause of death. Duffany previously said it appeared Gilders died of asphyxiation and not suicide but they were awaiting results before making any definitive statements about whether or not foul play was involved in the death. Duffany adds that theyâve conducted numerous interviews and multiple searches of the vehicle, reviewed cell phone records, and the investigation continues. (JM)
