Tulsa police identify man found dead in a tent

A follow-up to a story the KRMG Morning News with Dan Potter first brought you earlier this week.

Tulsa police identified one of the men found dead inside a tent Wednesday evening.

Officers believe 53-year-old Tommy Rogers was one of two victims who died by asphyxiation because of a candle left burning.

Police say the tent was located near train tracks by Utica and the Cherokee Expressway.

Rogers was staying in a tent with a woman and another man.  Police say the woman returned to the tent to find both men dead.

TPD hasn't released the name of the other victim.
