Delaware Capitol Police have launched an investigation following the discovery of a body in a forested area behind the Dover Department of Motor Vehicles facility.
The deceased individual was found in woods behind the DMV building situated at 303 Transportation Circle in Dover. Capitol Police officers were called to the scene at around 9:57 a.m. after Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) workers reported that members of a state service agency had made the discovery.
Detectives from the Delaware Capitol Police are working alongside the Delaware State Police to examine the circumstances of the death. Authorities have not disclosed the identity of the person who died, as they are waiting to inform family members first.
Officials say no other details about the victim are being shared at this time. Investigators do not currently believe foul play was involved in the death.
