The body of a Chunky man was found Wednesday morning in a wooded area behind the Sack and Save grocery store at North Frontage Road and 18th Avenue.
Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler said the man's complete name and age was unavailable today.
Cobler said the man was reportedly last seen at about 3 p.m. Tuesday. Although his driver's license listed a Meridian address, Cobler said, his home was in Chunky.
