HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A man was found dead underneath an underpass in northwest Harris County on Thursday night, according to investigators from the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to the 18200 block of Homestead Road at about 9 p.m. Deputies said that when they arrived, they found the man “in a state of decomposition.” Authorities said EMS also responded to the scene, where they confirmed the man was dead.<\/p>\n

Investigators said that before deputies were called, another man was walking in the area and found the body. The man then reportedly went to a store and told the clerk, who then called HCSO.<\/p>\n

Officials did not immediately reveal the victim’s identity. Investigators said they did not see any apparent injuries, adding that more information would come from an autopsy.<\/p>\n

HCSO said the incident remains under investigation. Authorities said anyone with information about this case is urged to call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office at 713-274-9100 or CrimeStoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
