AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Two men out fishing got a big surprise when they found a dead body at the end of their line.
The two men were out fishing on Lake Stella in Auburndale, Florida, when they pulled up a man’s body, WFLA reported. One of the men called his father, who called the police after confirming it was a real body.
Investigators said the body is a local resident who recently returned to the area, and was likely in the water for 24-48 hours, WTVT reported. Investigators told WTVT there are no obvious signs of trauma but an autopsy is pending.
The name of the victim was not released, because police are trying to find the victim’s next of kin, but police believe the man may have been homeless, WFLA reported.
