UPPER WEST SIDE — A body was found in Riverside Park Friday morning, authorities said.
The unidentified male, in his 30s, was discovered dead inside the park at West 59th Street about 6:20 a.m., police said.
It was not clear how the man died, but police at the scene said it appears to be natural causes. A police source added that the man might have been homeless.
A witness said he saw the man in the same spot Thursday morning not moving.
''He was laying out here in a red T-shirt and a hoodie with blue jeans,” said Shon Oliver, 32, noting he's seen the man there before drinking alcohol and listening to a radio.
“The whole time I thought he was sleeping.''
