It was a suicide, been missing for about 5 days.
It was so covered by fire ants that at first I didn't recognize it as a human body.
Only the feet sticking out from the mounds gave it away.
According to the coroner (This was in the late '70's), the guy had apparently killed himself and landed on three mounds.
They had just built the mounds up around him.
There was some evidence of consumption, but for the most part, the mounds had preserved the body.
This was in April, during turkey season, and it gets fairly hot down there.
I felt sorry for the guys that had to go in and recover the body.
