The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Galena Police Department are investigating a man’s death after remains were found yesterday afternoon in Galena.

 Galena PD received a call around 3 p.m. reporting a body found in a field, near 11th St. and Wood St. When officers responded, they located the badly decomposed remains of a man. Galena PD requested assistance from the KBI at approximately 3:30 p.m.

 At this time, the man has not been identified. Due to the condition of his remains, positive identification is expected to take longer than in typical cases. The body has been taken to the medical examiner's office in Kansas City for autopsy.

 If you have information about this case, please contact the KBI at 1-800-KS-CRIME, or the Galena Police Department at (620) 783-1900.

 The investigation is ongoing.
