Aransas County Sheriff's Office investigating body found in water

Aransas County officials are working to identify a body that was found in a body of water Wednesday morning.

Around 10 a.m., Aransas County sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a body in the water, a news release stated. The location was not released. 

The body was sent for an autopsy.

"Due to the condition of the body, an autopsy will be crucial to identify and determine a cause of death," the release stated.

Around noon on Wednesday, officials were notified of a stolen vehicle from Houston traveling southbound. The driver fled to the Lamar area and abandoned the vehicle. Attempts to locate him were unsuccessful.
