Michael Thomas, a 72-year-old grandfather from Royal Oak, was found dead in the eastbound lanes of I-96 near Livernois during the late hours of Halloween night. Michigan State Police describe his death as a hit-and-run; investigators say he was struck by multiple vehicles and none stopped at the scene.

Hours before his body was discovered, Mr. Thomas sent a text to his girlfriend around 8:36 p.m. saying good night and that he was going to bed. He was not known to leave his house after nine o’clock and his family, while noting he rode a bicycle, doubt he would have been out that late. Investigators also reported the scent of alcohol on his body, but that detail has not explained why he was on the interstate or how the collisions occurred.

No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made; the investigation remains open. If anyone was driving or saw anything on I-96 near Livernois on Halloween night, can you come forward with information?
