VIRUS OUTBREAK-NURSING HOMES
Justice Department won t probe Michigan nursing home deaths
LANSING, Mich. (AP) â The Justice Department will not open a civil rights investigation related to COVID-19 deaths in Michiganâs nursing homes. The notification to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday came nearly 11 months after the departmentâs Civil Rights Division requested data from the Democratic governors of four states, including Michigan, and said it was considering whether to investigate under a federal law that protects the rights of people in public nursing homes. Most nursing homes are privately owned. Republicans have criticized Whitmer for allowing recovering COVID-19 patients to return to nursing homes, but she has said doing so complied with federal guidance.

The body of the unidentified individual was found Wednesday morning at the bottom of the rock formation.
Island Police Chief Douglas Topolski doesn’t believe foul play was involved.
The man was in an area blocked off from the public. He has been tentatively identified, but no name has yet been released.
The arch rises 146 feet above Lake Huron. Officials believe the man lay at the base of the rock for several hours until a passerby found him.
