HAM LAKE, Minn., March 10 (UPI) -- A body found frozen in a golf course pond in a Minneapolis suburb has been identified as that of an apparently homeless man, authorities say.

The body of Jeffrey Scott O'Donnell, 42, probably had been encased in ice for months when it was found Friday at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake. The Anoka County Sheriff's Office said O'Donnell had no permanent address, the Star Tribune reported Tuesday.

How O'Donnell died and ended up in the pond had yet to be determined, the Minneapolis newspaper said. An autopsy was to be conducted.

No missing-persons report had been filed regarding O'Donnell, whose parents live in the metropolitan area.
