the 1500 block of Hiller Road in McKinleyville for the report of a body found in a field.
The body has been identified as that of 44-year-old Demetrious Gabriel Goodwin. Goodwin was

by transients discovered Goodwin’s body in the field among heavy brush.
Goodwin’s autopsy is scheduled for early next week. Foul play is not suspected.
