Missing MS Man Found Dead
Authorities say an 81-year-old Monroe County man was found dead in a field behind his home.
Coroner Alan Gurley tells Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that Robert R. Reed of Hamilton lived alone and was last seen by neighbors on May 13.
Gurley says a neighbor had been looking for him for several days but it was never reported to police.
He says two neighbors found Reed’s body Monday about 200 yards in front of his home in a grassy field.
Gurley said an autopsy would be performed to determine a cause of death.
