BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) Authorities say they can't determine what caused the death of a 48-year-old Crow Agency man whose body was found near railroad tracks east of Park City in southern Montana.

The body of Steven Richard Eckhart was found Oct. 22 near the border of Stillwater and Yellowstone counties.

Stillwater County Sheriff Clifford Brophy, who also is the coroner, says hypothermia contributed to Eckhart's death, but chemical substances also were found in the body. The sheriff says there is no indication of foul play.
