Although it is unclear how the body ended up at the intersection, the coroner does not believe the man was a victim of a hit-and-run.
According to the coroner, the incident could turn into a criminal investigation.
Part of New Circle Road was closed for a few hours until authorities wrapped up their initial investigation.
Traffic was back to normal in the area just before 7 a.m.
