Body found in woods
LINCOLNVILLE, SC - Two children playing in the woods Sunday afternoon made the grisly discovery of a partially clothed, decomposing body.
The children came across the body lying in the leaves off Pickens Street, an edge-of-town road along woods that drop away to a swamp. The body was male but was without identification or marks that would readily identify him, Charleston County sheriff's Maj. John Clark said.
Deputies are contacting nearby law enforcement agencies to check missing persons lists. An autopsy is scheduled for today.
"We are going to treat this as a homicide," Clark said. He did not release any further information.
