Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help identifying a man whose body was found more than year ago in West Knox County.

KCSO says deputies were called to 325 Walker Springs Road around 4:30 on Saturday, August 5, 2023 for the report of a dead person near the wood line on the property, adjacent to the Ten Mile Greenway.

At the time, investigators found that the body was too decomposed to be identified, transporting it to the Regional Forensic Center for more examination.

KCSO says there were no signs at the scene of foul play, and the victim, from what could be gathered at the scene, was not assaulted. Officials add the cause and manner of death are pending the findings of the Regional Forensic Center. 

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office and the Knox County Regional Forensic Center are asking for help identifying the man. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Jeremy McCord in the Major Crimes Unit at 865-215-2243.
