Unidentified Body Found In Richmond

KENTUCKY...
An unidentified body that was found in a vacant Richmond house could have been there for months.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison said the body discovered Friday was in a badly decomposed state, almost to the point of being mummified.

It was sent to the state medical examiner's office in Frankfort, where an autopsy was to be performed Monday.

Cornelison said they would work to determine the cause of death as quickly as possible and then try to determine the identity. He warned that it could take a while.

The body was found by a man who had been going through abandoned houses, possibly looking for things to sell. He told a Richmond Water, Gas and Sewage employee about the body, and that person called police.
