8/16/14 - Reports have been received for a missing man whose body was discovered in a wooded area of Livingston County last May. The case of a decomposed body found last May in a wooded area of Livingston County identified as a man reported missing is now closed. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department received toxicology reports for 45-year-old Thomas Christopher Enright. The Hartland-area man was reported missing in April and his identify had to be confirmed though fingerprints. A man walking in the woods behind the Hartland Township Wal-Mart found the body May 10th and investigators had been awaiting a toxicology report to determine a cause of death for Enright. Sheriff Bob Bezotte says the report showed only a minuscule amount of alcohol in his system. He says the cause and manner of death is possible hypothermia, with the contributing condition of chronic alcohol abuse. He says there were no visible signs of any type of wounds that would lead to a criminal investigation and the case is considered closed. Enright's girlfriend told authorities she last saw him in mid-March. The body was clad only in jeans, a shirt and socks, which wasn't appropriate clothing for cold weather at the time. Bezotte says Enright was somewhat homeless as he would go back and forth between living in the woods behind Wal-Mart and another place he was living near the Maxfield Road area. (JM)
