SAN MARCOS — The body of a deceased man was discovered in a field in San Marcos on Wednesday evening, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department confirmed.
According to Lt. Patrick Fox, the body was discovered shortly after 11 p.m. on Wednesday evening in a vacant field at the intersection of South Las Posas Road and Linda Vista Drive and reported to law enforcement.
The individual appears to be a male in his late 20s, Fox said.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and is currently investigating the death. The sheriff’s Homicide Department does not appear to be involved at this time, according to Fox.
The field where the man’s body was found is a 33-acre vacant site in the industrial zone next to Bradley Park. The southern area of the lot is the proposed site of a 228-unit residential development that will go before the San Marcos City Council for approval later this month.
No other information was immediately available. The Medical Examiner’s Office will be responsible for identifying the individual.
