(KAIR)--An investigation is launched following the discovery of a body in Jackson County.
Sheriff Tim Morse says authorities were notified around 2:00 Sunday afternoon after a hunter discovered the body about a half-mile south of Nebo State Fishing Lake, located 2 miles southwest of Larkinburg.
According to Morse, the County Deputy Coroner arrived on the scene following the discovery, and the body was transported to Kansas City for an autopsy.
Official identification has not yet been made, and it's not immediately made public whether the body is that of man or woman. No statement has been released regarding a possible cause of death.
Morse says more details will be released once official identification is made and the family is notified.
