CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A body found Saturday morning in a park is under investigation.

It happened just before noon at the Yoctangee Park Annex in Chillicothe. First responders were called to the scene after the human remains were found “somewhat into the tree-line.”

Medics responded but the case was immediately handed over to law enforcement and the county coroner’s office after it was apparent the body was deceased.
