BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – An investigation is underway after deputies found a man’s body on Wednesday afternoon in southeast Bexar County, according to the sheriff’s office.
In a news conference, BCSO Sheriff Javier Salazar said deputies responded to the 12000 block of East Loop 1604 after a man working on utilities in the area reported finding a body.
The sheriff said that at this time, it’s unknown whether the man was a victim of a crime or if he died of natural causes. The man’s age is also unclear.
The man appeared to be dead for at least several days, Salazar said.
Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents spoke with BCSO about a tip relating to a body dumped in the same area, Salazar said.
Deputies searched the address that the Border Patrol agents provided and didn’t find anything, the sheriff stated.
BCSO is investigating whether the body found on Wednesday is related to the tip that Border Patrol agents received.
Salazar said there is no threat to the community.
