HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man's body was found Tuesday partially submerged in a ditch in the Aldine area, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
The body was found by a woman who was looking for her dog along Foy Lane near Mooney Road, just east of Halls Bayou.
Gonzalez said that when deputies got to the scene, they found the man face down in the ditch and submerged in about 2 feet of water.
Gonzalez said neighbors told him the weather was really bad earlier in the day and the streets were impassable, so investigators will be looking to see if the weather played a role in the man's death.
Gonzalez also said the discovery could be linked to a man who lives in the area and was recently reported missing.
A medical examiner will be able to identify the man and determine the cause of death. Gonzalez said it didn't appear as if foul play was involved.
