A man who was found dead alongside a road in eastern Perth was "always in the wrong place at the wrong time", his family has said.
Brock Pavy was found on Marlboro Road in Swan View about 11am (9am AEST) last Thursday by a member of the public.
The death of the 39-year-old, who was a month shy of his birthday, is being treated as suspicious.

"He had a great sense of humour, contagious laugh, but was always in the wrong place at the wrong time," his family said in a statement.
"He enjoyed the simple things like fishing, a good T-bone steak, big dogs, comfy tracksuits and having a beer and a smoke.
"No parent should have to bury their child."
Pavy is survived by his father, sister, and two nephews.
Police said they still don't know how long he had been dead for or how he died, as they appealed to the public for information today.
Anyone who saw or was in company of him in the days or weeks leading up to Thursday, who was in the area of Morrison Road and Marlboro Road the same day or may have dash-cam or other vision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Police have also asked those inside a white Ford Falcon sedan parked on the corner of Morrison Road and Marlboro Road who may have witnessed anyone in the area about 2am on Thursday to come forward.
