Body found wrapped in plastic, Houston police waiting on autopsy results

Houston police are waiting on the medical examiner to identify the man and determine how the victim died.

HOUSTON — An autopsy will have to determine how a man, found dead in a ditch on Tuesday (June 25), died. A day after the gruesome discovery, homicide investigators from the Houston Police Department confirmed the body of a Hispanic male was found wrapped in plastic and blankets along Anna Held Street on the city's Southside. 

The man's body was found by a person, police only described as a witness, who called 911 just before 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. 

The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office is also working to positively identify the victim. 

Investigators haven't figure out a motive, or a suspect.
