A man's decomposed body was found in a hammock near a creek in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood, police said.

The discovery was made just after 1 p.m. Sunday behind a home along the 1400 block of Deal Street, police said.

Investigators said the body was completely decomposed. The body was taken to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office to determine a cause of death.

Neighbors tell NBC10 homeless people sometimes live near the creek, but it's not yet clear who the man may be.
