An autopsy is scheduled for today on the body of a man found  Tuesday morning in McDavid.

The body was found lying face down in high grass a few feet off the side of Highway 29 just north of the West Fraser McDavid sawmill. Authorities are not yet releasing the man’s identity.

According to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, authorities do not yet know how the man died. Roy said it was not clear if he died of natural causes, if he was hit by a passing vehicle or if foul play was involved. As the investigation continues, Roy said the case was being treated as a homicide until evidence indicates otherwise.
