Attorney for man who froze to death plans lawsuit
Attorney Sheldon Erlich said the civil lawsuit against Bay City and Bay City Electric Light & Power will be filed.

City Attorney Neil Wackerly says he hasn't received any information about the pending lawsuit.
Bay County authorities in April decided not to file criminal charges after an investigation was concluded.
