Unidentified male body found in Runaway Bay

ST ANN, Jamaica — The decomposing body of an unidentified male that appears to be in its early fifties was found in Scarlett Hall, Runaway Bay, St Ann, on Tuesday.

The body is about 172 centimetres (5 feet 8 inches) long and was clad in a brown and white T-shirt, and short black pants.

Reports from the Runaway Bay Police are that about 4:00 pm residents smelled a foul odour before finding the body and summoned them.

The Runaway Bay Police are now asking anyone with information that can assist in identifying the body to contact them at 973-7057, Police 119 emergency number or the nearest police station.
