A dead man was found on the L train in Brooklyn early this morning.

Police say that the man, who did not have any ID but is believed to be in his 60s, was found on a Manhattan-bound L train at the Lorimer Street/Metropolitan Avenue stop around 2 a.m. this morning. He was declared DOA there.

Cops add that the man "may have been homeless," and at this point there is no foul play suspected.

One transit source told the News, "He was sitting up and appeared to be sleeping. One of the workers tried to wake him and was unable to wake him."
