HOUSTON – A gruesome discovery under a Houston freeway has left a family searching for answers after a man was found hanging and on fire, in what police are investigating as a potential homicide.

Railroad workers discovered the burning body of 46-year-old Jeremy Carnes hanging beneath the I-610 Freeway, near 5000 Kirkpatrick Boulevard in northeast Houston, on October 23.

Union Pacific workers initially reported it as a brush fire to the Houston Fire Department around 10 p.m., according to Houston Police.

“Upon arrival, officers found a body of an adult male hanging from under the underpass. It also appears that it’s been burnt, so set on fire, partially,” said Lt. Kahn of the Houston Police Department at the scene.
