An account has been created at a local bank to accept donations to help pay for the funeral expenses of a homeless man who died last weekend.

William "Baldy" Floyd, 45, died late Sunday night after a fire spread through a camp near Mehring Way and Sixth Street downtown. Baldy was featured in a CityBeat cover story about homeless camps in September.—-

Donations of any amount can be made at any Fifth Third Bank branch location in Greater Cincinnati or online at www.53.com. The account number for donations is 9023556468.
