Maintenance crews in Michigan made a gruesome discovery on Tuesday when they found a man’s body at the top of a broadcast tower, MyFoxDetroit.com reported.

Workers spotted the dead man – who was only wearing a T-shirt and underwear – on top of the 1,100-foot CBS broadcast tower around 12:30 p.m.

"Around 12:30 today, we received a phone call from the workers that were working on this tower. They had found a deceased black male at the very top of the tower," Oak Park Public Safety Sergeant Jason Ginoplis said.

Investigators are trying to determine the man's identity, as well as how he got to the top of the tower and the duration of time he was there.

1100 feet up, only t-shirt and underwear. Cold up there. Who would be able to do that climb on his own?

I'd bet he climbed up there. I'm not sure how else you could do it.

Did the workers ask him, “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”?

Until I read "deceased BLACK male", I thought of Charlie Sheen.

It ended 1100 feet up a radio tower.

My guess is that it started with “Hold my beer.”
