More time needed to identify decomposed body found in Thomaston

From Public Safety Department spokesman Steve McCausland:

“The Medical Examiner’s Office and the State Police DNA lab are involved with the identification process, which is expected to continue into next week

Evidence techs returned to the scene Thursday to re-search the area where the body was found. Nothing was.

There is also nothing to indicate anything suspicious with the death. Once there is a positive ID, detectives will attempt to retrace the man’s footsteps and determine why he was in Knox County.”
