A body found off a rural road Sunday has prompted RCMP Major Crimes Unit South to investigate a suspicious death.

Cochrane RCMP responded to a report of a deceased man near the Springbank Airport at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

Officers worked with the Forensic Identification Section to examine the area, though they have been unable to identify the man.

An autopsy is scheduled for December 31.

RCMP say they will provide more information once the autopsy has been completed.
