Palm Coast, FL – Investigators are trying to identify the body of a man found dead in a Flagler County park bathroom.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office says a county parks employee found the body around 12:30pm Friday at the River to Sea Preserve on Ocean Shore Boulevard, just south of Marineland.
FCSO spokeswoman Laura Williams says it appears that the body had been there for some time.
“[The body was] in an abandoned bathroom,” Williams added. “No obvious signs of trauma were evident but decomposition had begun.”
A 2014 Kia Forte was also found in a secluded area at the preserve, a vehicle that FCSO believes belonged to the dead man.
“A death investigation is being conducted and it’s too soon to say whether foul play is suspected,” Williams stated. “The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine his identity and the cause of death.”
Williams noted that the body could be of a 73-year-old man reported missing Monday from St. Johns County, but no positive identification has been made yet.
