A park employee discovered a body in advanced decomposition Thursday afternoon in a grassy area of Sedgwick County Park near 21st Street North and Ridge, according to the Sheriff's Office. The remains, found outside a tent at a single campsite around 1:15 p.m., were too decomposed to immediately determine age, gender or visible signs of injury, and authorities are working with the coroner's office to identify the deceased while reviewing missing persons cases.
