A Parks and Recreation worker found something he didn't expect Thursday morning while checking a fence at Central City Park.. A body.
The worker made the discovery just before 9 a.m. behind the Parks and Rec building.
Recent cold weather made it difficult to tell how long the body was there.
Coroner Leon Jones says they've identified the dead man as 29 year old Mark Nixon of Lizella. They don't believe Nixon was the victim of a crime, but they are hoping an autopsy will tell them how he died.
The autopsy is scheduled for Friday, but Jones says it could take weeks or even months before he hears the final results.
