Body found by DOT workers

A decomposed body was found yesterday (January 7th) by Washington State DOT workers clearing brushing along I-5 just east of Federal Way.

The workers found the body about 2:30 PM near the 3100 block of S. 298th. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, it was impossible to tell the gender or cause of death. The remains were turned over to the Medical Examiner’s Office.
