Landscaping Worker Finds Body In Field Near Morgan Hill Corporate Complex

MORGAN HILL (CBS SF) - A landscape worker found a body in a Morgan Hill field Thursday morning.

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, age or gender.

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