Police trying to identify man located in woods

Police are trying to identify a man whose body was found Sunday afternoon in a wooded area in Upper Marlboro.

Police responded to a report of a man lying in the 14300 block of Oak Grove Road at approximately 3:55 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found the man unresponsive on the ground, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

He appeared to be Hispanic, said Officer Evan Baxter, a spokesman for the Prince George’s County Police Department. No other identifying information on the man was released.

Police found no obvious signs of trauma and are investigating the incident as a death investigation as opposed to a homicide, Baxter said. Police are waiting for autopsy results from the state medical examiner’s office in Baltimore.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 301-772-4925 or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-8477.
