A man was found dead on the H-1 freeway early this morning, triggering a lengthy police investigation and major delays for commuters heading into town.

Police shut down all eastbound lanes near the Likelike Street overpass around 4 a.m. after discovering the body of a 25-year-old man.

The closure lasted about five hours, backing up traffic well into the morning commute for anyone heading town-bound.

Authorities are treating it as an unattended death investigation, meaning the cause has not yet been determined.

Outlook: Expect an update once police release results of the investigation into how the man died.
