Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina and Mount Holly Township Police Chief Richard Spitler are asking the public to assist with identifying a man whose body was discovered this afternoon behind a convenience store.
The decedent was found by a juvenile at approximately 12:30 p.m. behind Millerie’s Market & Deli at the corner of Rancocas Road and King Street. He is described as a white male between the ages of 25 and 35, approximately 5 feet 6 inches in height with black hair, facial hair, and a very slender build. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black pants and white sneakers.
Investigators have not ruled out foul play. An autopsy will be performed by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood to determine the cause and manner of death.
Anyone with information that could help establish his identity or explain the circumstances that resulted in him being behind the store is asked to call Burlington County Central Communications at 609-265-7113, or send an email to tips@co.burlington.nj.us.
