ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis is investigating the death of a St. Louis man whose body was found across the Mississippi River in Illinois’ rural St. Clair County.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that police were alerted Saturday afternoon to a body near a rock pile in an empty lot near Lebanon, Illinois.

Arriving sheriff’s deputies found the body of 36-year-old Keith Carter, of St. Louis. Investigators say Carter may have frequented homeless camps. Investigators have not said how Carter died and have not announced any arrests in the case.

Detectives are asking anyone with information on Carter’s death to call the police.
