There are no signs that foul play was involved in the death of a man whose body was found in a parking lot in Berkeley on Tuesday afternoon, a police spokeswoman said today. 

The man, who was in his 20s, hasn't been identified yet, Berkeley police Officer Jennifer Coats said. 

Coats said it appears that the man was a transient. 

Officers responded at 1:54 p.m. Tuesday to a report of an unresponsive man in the parking lot on the northwest corner of Shattuck Avenue and Blake Street and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, Coats said.
