DECEASED

In the days before his death, Thomas Pauli, a homeless sex offender in Grand Rapids, Michigan, tried to get a bed at two different shelters, but was turned away.  Both shelters are within 1,000 feet of Central Catholic High School.  Pauli was prohibited from residing at the shelters, even for a night.  The shelters near public parks are also prohibited areas for sex offenders.  So, Pauli slept outside, behind a recycling shop.  That's where his lifeless body was found, crouched on hands and knees in the snow, apparently frozen to death.
