Bowie Police are investigating the discovery of a deceased person found in a heavily wooded area behind the 400 block of East Pecan.
Assistant Police Chief Kent Staff said police were called at 9:23 a.m. Wednesday morning to investigate a “foul odor” in that area. Investigators found the body of a male lying in the drainage area located behind the residences on Pecan.
“We believe it to be a male and it appears to have been at the location deceased for several days. The body has been sent to the the Southwest Institute for Forensic Science for autopsy,” said Stagg.
The assistant chief said the initial review of the body does not show any obvious sign of the cause of death. The body was lying in a heavily wooded area located behind the area of Pecan and Elba Streets and was not readily visible to police. He also would not elaborate on any further details or possible identification.

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.
The former 97th District Attorney was convicted of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant on May 13 in the 16th District Court in Denton County.
The jury gave her a sentence of one year in state jail for misapplication of fiduciary property and six years probation for theft by a public servant.
The 38-year-old Hall was booked into the Hopkins County Jail on June 2 on a warrant after a Denton County judge revoked the appeal bond that was $10,000.
Hall filed her intent to appeal the conviction and sentence, so after posting a $10,000 bond, she was released on May 14 instead of beginning her sentence.
Denton County Court records indicated on June 2 Judge Sherry Shipman, who presided in the trial, declared Hall’s bond insufficient and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
There were rumors Hall may have opted to drop her appeal, but that information has not been confirmed through the court. As of June 9 Hall remained booked into the Hopkins County Jail.
