Body Found Near Picnic Point

Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies found a man's body on a beach just south of Picnic Point County Park late this afternoon.

The deputies responded to the scene after receiving a 5 p.m. phone call from a train conductor who spotted the body.

Deputies are still investigating the cause of the death. They do not believe he was the victim of foul play, and also don't think he was hit by a train. The deputies are working with the Seattle Harbor Patrol to determine if the body is connected to reports of a man missing off a boat last night in the Seattle area.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office will release the man's identity once it has been confirmed and his kin are notified.
