Officials investigate after body found in field
Officials from the Fayette County Coroner’s office said they were summoned to a field in Franklin Township this evening after a man’s body was found inside a pickup truck in a field.
Deputy coroners said that it appeared the truck crashed into a tree in the field, located off of Riggin Road.
According to investigators, it appeared that the man had been dead for about three days.
The man’s identity was not released pending notification of family Tuesday night.
An autopsy is planned to determine cause and manner of death, however, investigators said they did not immediately suspect foul play.
