Madison police say an unidentified male has been found dead on a porch after a night of drinking.

A police spokesman tells NBC 15 it happened just before 5 pm, Saturday, on 144 North Breese Terrace.

Authorities say the caller, who lives at the address, told them the two had been moving into the house Friday and spent the night drinking.

Neighbors say the victim didn't live at the house.

Police say they don't suspect foul play.

The Dane County coroner has scheduled an autopsy for Sunday morning.

You know, its really funny how people persist in writing comments about my brother (some hurtful, and some not) when they didn't even know him. I have read these comments, and a few have made me morally ill. I feel as though he has gained no respect and no sympathy from this, because of the lies his murderer has spilled. Only to cover his own dirty deeds, Schoneker beleived he could convince us Johnny's death was because of his own neglegence, but our family knows better. Schoneker gave Jonh 5 methadone tablets (the toxicology report came back as ALCOHOL FREE, so look it up)and then watched as he slowly faded away. Now these false news reports have put my family through hell, so before you accuse my brother of what Schoneker portrayed him as doing, take this note of truth from an insider and truly think about what you have said here.

Travis & Renneh: 1st, death is a natural end to the biological cycle called life, it is going to happen to all creatures existing right now, at this point in time, so get over yourself & your self righteous rant about my callous opinion of death. Talk about disrespect for the dead Renneh, at least I wasn't one of the people who left his body laying on a porch and didn't call for help for him! Travis- absolute moron? absent minded ignorant comments? My comment was well thought out thank you & it is a shame you are too shallow minded to appreciate the philosophical ground that it covers. Moron? again, who are you Travis? are you one of the idiots who left his dead body laying out for the world to see? nice that you all kept track of a friend who had such an obviously precarious medical condition! with friends like you, watching out for his "special circumstances" only you know about- it's a wonder he made it at all! your friend is dead, & his friends left him on a porch- some love!

Just know it wasn't alcohol and there is details that only his friends and family know and as Rennah said it is only a matter of time until the truth comes out. This goes above what the news is reporting.
