A deceased person’s body was discovered at a Marshall residence on Saturday, September 7.

According to a post on the Saline County Coroner’s Facebook Page, at approximately 12:30 p.m., the coroner was requested by the Marshall Police Department to respond to a residence in the 300 block of West Boyd Street.

The post says upon arrival, the coroner was briefed by Marshall Police officers as to their information regarding the residence and then entered the residence with the officers.

The post continues: “I observed a deceased person within the residence and have ordered an autopsy to be done. As with any unattended death, the scene is treated as a crime scene until a thorough investigation has been done by (the) Marshall Police Department, Saline County Coroner’s Office, and any other requested agencies.”

The post continues: “Until an autopsy has been completed, and more information gathered by (the) Marshall Police Department, no further details will be available. Please be respectful that this is an ongoing investigation, and that this information is the most up to date and accurate.”
