The Branson Police Department is investigating the discovery of a body found Saturday.

The full release from the Branson Police Department is below:

The Branson Police Department is conducting an investigation after responding to a call regarding a found body earlier today, in the woods near Lake Taneycomo. Upon arrival, officers secured the scene and immediately initiated an investigation. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest foul play.

As part of standard procedure, an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. This remains an active investigation, and we are committed to ensuring a thorough and respectful process.

Out of respect for the individual and their loved ones, no further details will be released at this time. Once identity is confirmed, and next of kin notified, the Taney County Coroner will release identity information.

We appreciate the community’s understanding and patience as we work through the investigative process.
