Couple finds man’s body while looking at new home in Texas

A pair of house hunters stumbled across a body while looking at a property in Texas, authorities said.

The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. Saturday at a home under construction in Katy, news station KHOU reported.

While touring the property, the couple spotted a man’s body in a drainage ditch behind the backyard, authorities said.

The man’s body appeared to have been there for a couple of days, KHOU reported.

He had suffered some trauma, though the circumstances surrounding his death weren’t immediately clear, KHOU reported.

An autopsy was ordered to determine the cause of death, authorities said.

“As of right now, we’re not really sure exactly what happened to the individual,” Harris County Sheriff Sgt. Jason Brown told reporters, the Houston Chronicle reported.
