Johnnie Redding, the River Rouge man found frozen last month in a vacant Detroit warehouse, died of a cocaine overdose, the Wayne County Medical Examiner has confirmed.
Redding's corpse was discovered Jan. 27 in what was once the Detroit Public Schools' Roosevelt warehouse at 14th Street and Michigan Avenue.
Redding, 56, was a graduate of River Rouge High School and worked years ago at now-closed Detroit Steel. His brother said Johnnie Redding then worked as a handyman.
