Last update - 10:20 17/01/2008 Homeless man found frozen to death in Rishon Letzion By Yigal Hai, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Homeless, Tel Aviv  A homeless man was found dead Thursday in Rishon Letzion. Police said the man likely froze to death overnight. Yaniv Shahar, a Magen David Adom paramedic who arrived at the scene, reported that the man, 50, was found "lying on the ground. There were no signs of violence in the incident." A police spokesman confirmed the cause of death "was likely hypothermia." In the past two days, two homeless persons died as a result of hypothermia - a condition in which body temperature falls below 36 degrees centigrade. Two other men were hospitalized in serious condition. Advertisement As a result, the Tel Aviv municipality launched an initiative calling on homeless persons to stay in shelters rather than on the streets.
