SAN ANTONIO — A body was found at a southside park tangled up in debris along a bank of the body of water, according to police.
The body was found at 11:39 a.m. at Espada Park located on SE Military Drive by a man looking for a good spot to fish.
Police said the body is of a man around 30 years of age and that it was badly decomposed. Officials believe that the recent rain made the body turn up.
Police said they can't rule out foul play, but the investigation is still in the beginning phase. They also said they didn't believe the man did not die where he was found.
Access to the park is currently closed, but once officials finish their investigation, the park will reopen.
This is a developing story.
