Benton Police are trying to make sense of a body found by the railroad tracks.
About 9:00 a.m. Sunday, March 5th, BNPD officers responded to the railroad tracks behind the Saline County Sheriff’s Office. See the area circled above, near at 735 S. Neeley Street. The call was in reference to an unattended death.
Officers located a deceased male subject upon arrival, later identified as Anthony Page, age 36. Page’s injuries are consistent with being struck by a train, but the investigation remains ongoing.
