A body has been found in Izard County. Izard County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Charley Melton says the man’s body was discovered about 2:45 Wednesday afternoon near the sewer treatment plant off North Bend Drive in Horseshoe Bend.

Melton says it appears the man had been deceased for several days.

The body is being sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Melton says the investigation is continuing, but, at this point, law enforcement does not believe foul play was involved.

No name has been released at this time.
