AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A body was found in the 1200 block of Williston Road on Wednesday, according to authorities.

Aiken County Coroner Darryl Ables said his staff responded shortly before 11 a.m. to a home in the 1200 block of Williston Road after the body of a Black male was found inside an abandoned vehicle.

The discovery was made by the homeowner, who gave a presumptive identification of the dead person as a homeless man known for being in the area.

Positive identification is pending fingerprint analysis.

Foul play is not suspected and an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death is scheduled for next week in Newberry.
