BATAVIA, IL - A 38-year-old man was found dead at a baseball field in Batavia Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Police were called to Clark Island, 420 S. River St., at 12:29 p.m. for a report of a person who was not breathing. Authorities believe Timothy A. Wright, 38, formerly of 4 S. Lincoln St. in Batavia, had been sleeping in the area at the time of his death, according to a Batavia Police Department press release.
