By Carl Fish | Daily Ridge News

Polk County, FL – A death investigation is underway along State Road 60 East near Kissimmee Shores Road following a 911 call that led deputies to a parked vehicle in the area.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, their Emergency Communications Center received a call at 1:06 p.m. from a man who made alarming statements before hanging up. He did not provide his location and did not respond to repeated call-back attempts.

Deputies were able to identify the caller and determine the type of vehicle registered to him — a gray Chevrolet pickup truck. Using this information, they located the truck parked along SR 60 East and requested assistance from Polk County Fire Rescue.

At the scene, deputies began a death investigation. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the exact cause of death. Authorities have not released the individual’s identity, and the situation remains under investigation.

While the incident prompted a law enforcement response, traffic has remained passable in the area. As of this writing, one westbound lane of SR 60 remains closed.

No further information is available at this time.
