Emergency workers investigate the discovery of a dead body in a creek behind duplexes on Seventh and Michigan streets. The body was found Sunday afternoon.
night, the Lawrence police said that "a cause of death is not known at this time pending autopsy results, but there appears to be no foul play involved."
At about 5 p.m., police and a coroner loaded the body onto a stretcher. The coroner left shortly afterward. At 5:19 p.m., police took down the yellow crime scene tape.
Valerie Rotes, who lives a block away from where the body was found, said the occurrence troubled her.
"I'm more paranoid now," she said."I have my daughter and I live alone. I get scared. I have to walk outside and there are no street lights out here."
"I'm kind of creeped out a bit," he said."I live in this neighborhood. I walk through it every day. I'm wondering who I'm not going to see now."
Jeff Eubanks, another neighborhood resident, was surprised by the incident.
The Lawrence police said the name of the subject would not be released at this time.

A curious court companion
AMHERST, Va. — A woman turned a few heads when she walked into a rural Virginia courthouse with a tiny monkey clad in a pink-and-white dress tucked in her bra.
The woman brought the palm-sized marmoset to Amherst County Courthouse on Thursday for a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Officials apparently didn't notice the monkey until the woman went to an office to complete some paperwork.
