Authorities this morning are still trying to identify a body found Tuesday night behind a trailer in Windsor, S.C.

Aiken County Sheriff’s Capt. Troy Elwell said a man who was collecting cans in the area smelled the body and found it lying behind the home in the 50 block of Stillwater Road.

“About all I can tell you right now is it’s believed to me a male - believed to be a black male,” Capt. Elwell said. “He’s been at the location for some amount of time. Weeks at the minimum.”

The man who found the body, whose name was not made public, was arrested on several outstanding warrants. Capt. Elwell said they are not related to the case and that the man is not a suspect.

An autopsy conducted on the man, believed to be between 20-30 years old, has ruled a gunshot wound was the cause of death, according to a news release from Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton. Because of the severity of decomposition, the man has not yet been positively identified. Mr. Carlton stated that DNA analysis will be needed for an ID.
