SEARCY, Ark. (AP) – Police in Searcy are working to identify a man who was
found dead near a creek over the weekend.

The Arkansas State Crime Laboratory determined the man died from a medical
condition, but Searcy police said in a press release investigators still
don’t know his identity.

The man’s body was discovered Sunday afternoon.

Investigators said the body had been at the creek for at least several weeks and possibly several months.

Searcy Police Chief Steve Hernandez said investigators hoped DNA or dental
records would help them identify the man.
