HPD investigating 2 bodies found just miles apart in Houston’s southeast side

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston police are investigating two scenes in the city’s southeast side after reports of a body found at each location.

Both scenes are still developing Tuesday evening.

At about 6:59 p.m., HPD officers were called out to 5900 S. MacGregor Way, after reports of a person found in Brays Bayou.

Officers said someone along the trail flagged down a nearby officer after spotting the body. The body, whose identity has not been revealed, is that of a man.

Police said the man’s body did not have any obvious signs of trauma.

Then, less than 10 miles away, police received a call at 7:25 p.m. of another body found at 8500 Findlay Street near Sims Bayou.

People were in a home’s backyard when they spotted the body, which appeared to be far into its decomposition stage.

While both scenes are close to one another, it’s unclear if they’re related.

An investigation remains into both cases.
