A body was discovered in a wooded area behind the Host Inn Hotel Tuesday afternoon. A heavy police presence, including Wilkes-Barre Police, state police at Wilkes-Barre and the Troop P Forensic Services Unit and Luzerne County detectives responded to the area just before 12 noon. A body was discovered at the bottom of a steep embankment behind the hotel where city firefighters attempted to rappel down the hillside.
