Claremore Police Do Not Suspect Foul Play After Man's Body Found Near Highway

Claremore Police Department is investigating after a body was found by the side of a highway on the east edge of town near Interstate 44. Authorities do not suspect foul play, according to Police Chief Stan Brown.

Brown said the body of a 23-year-old man was discovered in a ditch along Highway 88 Saturday morning. They believe the man is a transient from Texas but are still working to confirm that information.

The area is near Interstate 44, not far from the Faith Baptist Family Life Center and some railroad tracks. It did not appear that the person was hit by a vehicle, he said.

Brown said the investigation into the death will continue.
