Hamburg (dpa / lno) - A dead man has been found on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg.

It was probably a homeless person, said a spokesman for the situation service on Saturday.

The man was discovered on Friday by a passerby on the sidewalk.

Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.

The man is about 65 years old.

His body was taken to forensic medicine for a cause of death investigation.

The "Hamburger Abendblatt" had previously reported.

The spokesman could not say whether it is, as the newspaper writes, the fifth dead homeless person in the Hanseatic city this winter.
