(Onscene.TV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">HARRIS COUNTY, Texas \u2013 Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies are investigating after a body was discovered under a bridge in northwest Houston late Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Deputies were called to the area of 18200 Homestead Road around 9 p.m. Thursday after a passerby stumbled upon the body. Houston Fire Department crews arrived on scene and pronounced the man dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The deceased is described as a male in an advanced state of decomposition. His age has not been determined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The man who found the body was walking through the area when he came across the remains. Rather than calling 911 himself, he alerted a nearby store worker, who then contacted authorities. Investigators are hoping that man comes forward with additional information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">No apparent injuries were observed on the victim. It remains unclear whether the man was homeless, though he was initially reported as such. Investigators noted he had not been seen in the area before, though a few people experiencing homelessness are known to frequent the location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The Harris County medical examiner responded to the scene. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Breaking News Alerts<img alt=\"\"  loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789728371_561_kprc_breaking.webp\" width=\"234\" height=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf eUxjKG\">More Stories Like This In Our Email Newsletter<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf ilkOIf copyright\">Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p>About the AuthorKatherine Levens headshot<img alt=\"\"  loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789728372_94_2QEWT3MSKVHMVBJDG4SSBCAL6Q.png\"\/><a class=\"sc-bmzYkS fERtCt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.click2houston.com\/team\/klevens\/\" title=\"View Katherine Levens&#039;s full profile\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Katherine Levens<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf ctDavV cigBRW\">Katherine Levens is a logistics coordinator from Fort Worth, Texas.
