I work in the office building and yesterday it seemed evident that a body had been found in the open space east of the building. Lots of uniformed police were here early, a white windowless van pulled up, marked police cars left and apparent forensic teams moved in.

I left the office before anything was removed but I've heard rumors (and it seemed obvious at the time) that a body had been found.
