Man’s Body Recovered From Lee County Creek

LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A man’s body was recovered from a Lee County creek late Friday afternoon.

Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson says deputies were called when someone passing by noticed a parked vehicle on the side of the road and a possible body in the water.

Johnson said it appears the unidentified white man parked his vehicle on County Road 1543 and attempted to walk down to the creek.

Johnson described the creek bank as steep and rocky. The water was also very high.

Foul play is not suspected but an autopsy will be performed.

The incident remains under investigation.
