We have more information about a Terre Haute death investigation led by the Department of Natural Resources.

We first told you Tueday that conservation officers said they were called to the 7500 block of East Devonald Avenue for an unresponsive man. That man was identified as Mike Pastorious, 51. Officials said he was later pronounced dead.

Now, the DNR says Pastorious fell from an elevated hunting stand, about 15 feet in the air.

After an autopsy, his cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma, along with contributory medical issues. His exact cause of death is still pending toxicology results.
