-

A man’s body was found Monday afternoon in a tent in one of the parking lots of Indianapol­is Motor Speedway. Speedway (Ind.) police said campers who had stayed after the Indianapol­is 500 called police about 1:45 p.m. The cause of death is under investigat­ion, Speedway police spokespers­on Robert Dine said. He said the case is being handled as a death investigat­ion, not a homicide. Temperatur­es on Monday reached 95 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. That followed temperatur­es in the 90s Sunday, which caused nearly 200 spectators to be treated for heat-related illness.
