A somber discovery was made early yesterday morning in the Welches area of Clackamas County when a deceased individual was found near East Highway 26 and East Miller Road. Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the scene at around 8:30 a.m., following a report regarding the existence of a body in the vicinity of the rural intersection. The investigation into the identity of the deceased person and the cause of their death is currently underway.
Details are sparse as the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office has yet to determine many facts surrounding the instance. For now, the area is a hive of investigative activity, with deputies collecting evidence and following initial procedures in the pursuit of answers. Little more than the fact of death itself is known to an awaiting public.
The Sheriff's Office is holding details close to the vest, revealing no further information at this time. Nevertheless, as stated on Clackamas County official release, they are actively working the case and "will provide updates when more information becomes available." This suggestion of forthcoming clarity is a small beacon for those astir with concerns in the community.
Local residents are left with a scant narrative, as law enforcement officials are yet to release any characteristics regarding the deceased individual.
