The body of a 20 to 30 year old Hispanic man has been discovered behind the Canton Marketplace, says the Canton Police Department.
According to the department, hunters called the police at 9:27 a.m. after they found a body in the woods behind the shopping center. The man had no identification on his person when he was discovered.
A department press release says that detectives are investigating the death of this man, and have labeled his death "suspicious."
If you have any information that may help identify the man, the Canton Police Department asks you to call 911.
I just received an e-mail from Canton PD. The autopsy on the man will be completed today, after which the department will have more info to release. The age of the man is estimated to be between 20-30. Thanks For Your Comments! -Justin
I am sorry for this mans death & his family's loss.
A while back (before road/hospital construction started), while walking my dog in the area behind Target/Dick's, I heard gunshots, quickly followed by the rapid appearance of cop cars. That turned out to be hunters, too, but it was WAY too close for comfort, for me. And at least the county needs to update their hunting regulations -- we have people firing off shotguns almost immediately behind our house, FREQUENTLY, and we live in an area of one-acre zoning, with at least one sizable/dense subdivision right next door. We're not "country" anymore, folks (despite some of us who have fought to keep us "country").
You can buy weapons you just can't use them! You can only look at them and admire what once was... Not that I care... Do you know that in weapon free America thousands of people die from them - while in no-weapons countries the deaths do not even come close to 100! If that doesn't confince you of the safety differences your not too smart... America is allowing it's populus to be killed needlessly by not ristricting weapons.... at least they should restrict the automatic weapons again...
I had to sit on this comment until I received official word form the authorities. From what I'm hearing, the circumstances are matching up. I cannot speak to the cause of death, however. Thanks for your comment! -Justin
