Landscape worker finds body in Morgan Hill field

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- A landscape worker found a body of an adult male in a Morgan Hill field Thursday morning, a police sergeant said.

Officers were notified of a body found at a field near Cochrane Circle and Cochrane Road around 9:45 a.m., Sgt. Carson Thomas said.

Arriving officers went to the scene, where they confirmed the person was dead, Thomas said.

The Santa Clara County medical examiner's office has been called to the scene, he said.

Investigators have not determined whether the death stemmed from natural causes or foul play, according to Thomas.

Thomas did not know the person's name.

The field, which is large enough for a tractor, is in an area surrounded by open vegetation and industrial businesses, he said.
