Shirley Jackson said she's had a hard time dealing with the death of her son, Mark A. McNulty.

Authorities identified McNulty, 40, of 547 Lafayette Ave., Sharon, as the man found dead Friday morning along Lynnwood Drive in Hermitage.

"It's hard to me because, about two years ago, I buried a sister and, in 1980, I had another son that I had to bury," said Mrs. Jackson, 66, of Fredonia. "It's not been easy at all."

McNulty's body was found by a passerby at about 11:30 a.m., about 4 feet from the road and about 100 yards north of a bridge, police said.
