A camper discover the decomposing body Sunday, alongside a Forest Service Road. "There's not a campground," says Deschutes County Sheriff's Sergeant William Bailey, "You have a couple major Forest Roads that travel from Sunriver; one going up to, headed towards Mount Bachelor, another one headed up to the lakes, near Cultus Lake where it comes out on Century Drive. And so, in the summer time, we do see a lot of people recreating and camping in that area."

Investigators are working to determine if anyone in the area is missing, "We may have to expand that out into Oregon, and the pacific Northwest, in an effort to identify this person." The cause of death hasn't been determined, but Bailey says it's suspicious...

The body was not that of a child and had likely been there weeks or months rather than days, Bailey said. The sheriff’s office was reviewing local missing person cases to check for any connection.
