A badly-decomposed body found over the weekend in woods near the Congaree River off Blossom Street still has not been identified.

“I would estimate it had been there from 10 to 25 days or so,” Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said.

Watts said officials don’t know if the body is that of a man or woman, nor can they tell what race it is.

“At this time, it appears to be a male,” said Watts. “We are running some tests.”

The only thing officials can say for sure at this time is that it was an adult and not a child, he said.

He had recently lost a front tooth and had a walking cane.

He was estimated to be between 35 and 55 years old at the time of death and is either white or Hispanic, Watts said.
