Associated Press - March 27, 2009 4:15 AM ET
JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) - Police in Jackson say two homeless men whose bodies were found in a tent died of accidental alcohol poisoning.
The Jackson Sun reported police were called to a wooded area Wednesday. Lt. David Demoss said the men were inside the tent, as if they were asleep.
Sgt. Tyreece Miller said there was no indication of foul play.
The medical examiner said the men appeared to have been in their late 50s.
Nick Elder, night manager of a nearby market, said he has seen the men going through trash bins and asking people for change.
Elder said he last saw 1 of them Tuesday night when the man asked for food.
