A body was found in the woods off Martin Way. Now police want to know how the man died
A man's body was found in a wooded area in the city Wednesday, and the Olympia Police Department and Thurston County Coroner are working to determine what happened.
The adult man's body was found partially submerged in a marshy area about 200 feet from the 3000 block of Martin Way East, near Animal Services, Coroner Gary Warnock said.
He said it appeared the body had been there for a couple of weeks.
An autopsy was conducted Friday, but a cause of death has not yet been identified. The 60-year-old transient man's identity has not yet been released.
There was no indication of foul play or violence, Olympia police say.
