Video: Body Found in Eupora Identified

[syndicaster id=’5871900′]EUPORA, Miss. (WCBI) – Eupora police have identified the body found just off Highway 82 Wednesday morning. And investigators do not suspect foul play.

Chief Greg Hunter tells WCBI investigators were able to positively identify the remains through witness testimony and fingerprints.

He says the male victim was not a resident of Webster County and had apparently walked there. His name will be released after family is notified.

Hunter says though autopsy results are not complete, he believes the death may be heat-related.

The body was discovered near a driveway on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and may have been there for at least two days.
