Around 10:30 Thursday morning, the Tulare County Sheriff Office says the body was discovered near a ponding basin by Ave. 120 and highway 43.

The sheriffs office says it’s unknown if this is a murder, but it is being treated like one for now.

Detectives were on scene Thursday processing evidence.

Anyone with information is urgently asked to call Tulare County Sheriff Office 559-733-6218.

The sheriff’s office says the identity of the victim and cause of death will be released when an autopsy is completed later this week.
