Police in Arkansas City are investigating after a body is discovered inside a residence on Tuesday.

 

Officers were called to the scene after a property manager working at the home noticed a foul odor coming from the residence. When police arrived, they discovered an individual deceased inside the home. The individual was taken to the Sedgwick County Forensic Science Center in Wichita for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.

 

The person who called 9-1-1 said they originally thought the odor was caused by a dead animal, but discovered what they described as the body of a male who appeared to be in their 20s or 30s stuck in the attic of the house.

 

Police have not yet determined the identity of the deceased man and ask that anyone who may be able to help to contact the Arkansas City Police Department Investigations Unit at (620) 441-4547.
