Authorities in Baltimore have commenced an investigation following the discovery of a body found yesterday in Park Circle, as indicated by the Baltimore Police Department. The body was located in the woods near the 3300 block of Henry G. Parks Jr. Circle just after the sun began its descent, with officers responding to the scene at approximately 5 p.m.
Per a statement detailed by FOX Baltimore, homicide units were promptly notified and assumed command of the inquiry—a standard procedure in such sad circumstances. Having taken the body into its care after retrieving it from the secluded woodland, the Medical Examiner's Office has been tasked with not only the grievous work of identifying the deceased but also ascertaining the cause of death.
According to a CBS News Baltimore report, this incident starkly contrasts recent data from the Baltimore Police Department showing a 36% reduction in homicides as of September. The investigation is still in its early stages, and details about the victim or the events remain unknown.
