Authorities say a man’s body was found in a pile of manure at a dairy farm in central California and they are investigating the case as a suspicious death.

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Spokesperson Tess Deterding says a worker at the farm in Galt found the body Wednesday while working in the area where manure and waste get processed.

Deterding tells KOVR-TV the body has been identified but his name won’t be released until the coroner notifies his family.

Owners of the dairy farm say he was not one of their employees.
