Columbus Police were initially called to the 1600 block of South High Street, in Columbus’s South Side, at around 1:30 a.m. on reports of a “suspicious fire,” a spokesperson for the department told WBNS.
When officers arrived, they found an unidentified male dead body in the woods rather than the first reported fire.
The homicide unit of Columbus Police began an investigation into the body’s discovery. No further information was released due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Anyone with information was asked to call Detective Westfall at 614-645-4221 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477.
