Workers from a construction company discovered a decomposing body Wednesday while clearing a field in northeast Houston, authorities said.
The nude body was found face-down about 2 p.m. in a wooded area near a cellular telephone tower along the 7500 block of Tremont near Ley, Houston police said.

"There's no way of telling right now what the cause of death is going to be," said Sgt. David Ferguson, of the Houston Police Department's homicide division.

The body had been there at least two or three days before being found. Police didn't know if it was a man or woman. An autopsy is planned.
Police said the body might have been dumped at the site.

Description: Workers from a construction company discovered Johnson's decomposing body on May 21 while clearing a field in northeast Houston, authorities said.

The nude body was found face-down about 2 p.m. in a wooded area near a cellular telephone tower along the 7500 block of Tremont near Ley, Houston police said.
