FRANKLIN, PA. - A man's body was apparently mistaken for a dead deer along a state highway, police said.
The body was lying along the road for as long as three days, authorities said. He was wearing tan clothing, which apparently led passing motorists to assume it was a dead deer, Venango County Coroner John Greggs said.
A Pinegrove Township employee reported the body Monday after noticing the man's shoes, Greggs said.
It wasn't immediately clear who the man is or exactly how he died. State police on Tuesday said they still had not identified him. Investigators believe he was in his 30s.
He likely was hit by a vehicle, perhaps as early as Friday, Greggs said.
