BELLEVUE, Ky. — A dead body was found in a wooded area near the Bellevue Kroger Wednesday, the Bellevue Police Department said.
Police said the area is between the Kroger location on Donnermeyer Drive and Retreat Street.
The cause of death is unknown. Police said their initial investigation shows it was an isolated incident with no threat to the public.
Constance Bray, 21, works at the Gold Star nearby.
Bray said there's been a smell for the past two to three weeks, but her friends who previously called the police were told it was a deer. Bray said she and her friend went to the area around 5:30 p.m. to explore where the smell was coming from when she discovered the body and called the police.
Bray described the trail nearby as the "easy access to get to Kroger" and somewhere where "everyone walks."
Police said the Campbell County Crime Scene Team was called in to help investigate.
