(KAIR)--A body has been discovered in Jackson County, found in a ditch Thursday afternoon by a hunter at 246th Road, a half-mile west of H. Road, in northwestern Jackson County. 

That word is delivered in a release by Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, who says the discovery was reported shortly before 4:00, with his office joined by Jackson County EMS in responding to the scene. 

According to Morse, the body has been identified as that of a Nebraska woman, but her name is withheld pending notification of her family. 

Foul play, Morse notes, is not expected at this time.
