A human body decomposed “beyond recognition” has been found at a US military camp on the Japanese island of Okinawa, military and police officials said Friday.
The corpse was discovered Wednesday inside a former housing area at Camp Foster but the identity of the person, including their gender and approximate date of death, were unknown, a spokeswoman for the base said.
The United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service is leading a probe into the case, she added.
The body was badly decomposed, but was presumed to be that of an adult, said an official at Okinawa prefectural police headquarters.
