SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - An autopsy Monday will answer a lot of questions concerning the death of a man in Springfield Saturday morning.

Shortly before 11 O'clock Saturday morning, detectives found the man's body in the alley behind 40 High Street in a neighborhood of apartment buildings not far from downtown.

Police Captain Cheryl Claprood told 22News, late this afternoon; the victim apparently fell from the roof of the four story brick building. What's not known is whether he jumped, fell or was pushed.
