Man’s body found in Youngstown identified

YOUNGSTOWN — The body of a man found late Thursday on the city’s south side has been identified as Fermin Morales-Diaz by the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office.

Morales-Diaz, 54, was found along East Dewey Avenue, according to police. He was reported missing by family members on Wednesday.

Detectives do not believe foul play was involved, but are waiting for toxicology results before making an official ruling. It is possible Morales-Diaz overdosed because he was last seen at a recovery house, a police report states.
