MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee County medical examiner on Thursday, Jan. 17 identified the 58-year-old man who was found dead in the parking lot of a Subway restaurant near Juneau and Van Buren in downtown Milwaukee on Wednesday morning.

The man was identified as Mark Jollie. The medical examiner's report indicates Jollie had a history of alcoholism and falling. He was found "down" outside the Subway restaurant, near a patch of ice, according to the report.

According to the report, a Milwaukee County Transit System driver found Jollie on the ground and called 911. First responders were dispatched around 6:30 a.m. Life-saving efforts were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead shortly after 7 a.m.
