A man's body was found under a bridge in Garland on Sunday morning, officials said, sparking a death investigation by local authorities.

According to a news release from the Garland Police Department, officers arrived at a creek waterway near West Campbell Road and Water Oak Drive just after 10:30 a.m., following a report of a deceased person located under a bridge. The identity of the adult male is yet to be released pending notification of next of kin and until the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office completes its examination.

The discovery prompted immediate response from the Garland Fire Department and the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office, who were responsible for removing debris to facilitate a meticulous investigation. As the case unfolds, authorities have refrained from speculating on the events that led to the man’s death.

An active investigation is underway, and the public awaits further details. "It is too early in the investigation to determine any facts surrounding the events leading to the death of the person," the Garland Police Department read, assuring that information will be disclosed once available. The exact cause of death remains undetermined, with officials promising an update as soon as the Medical Examiner provides a definitive conclusion.
