After the discovery of the body - Dead on the forest road - No outside influence
Following the discovery of a body in Melle near the state border with North Rhine-Westphalia, police investigations continue. An autopsy has led police to rule out external influence, a spokesperson confirmed. The man's identity has not yet been definitively determined.
However, it is highly unlikely that the deceased is a missing person from the East Westphalian town of Hüllhorst (Circle of Minden-Lübbecke), it was further stated. A definitive statement can only be made after a final identification.
The unidentified body was found on Monday by a farmer on a forest path in the Melle district of Wellingholzhausen.
Despite the ongoing investigation, other missing persons from different areas are being ruled out. The case remains open until a conclusive identification is made.
