The person who owns the former furniture plant at 2605 Livingston Road was inspecting the grounds early this afternoon when he discovered a dead body.

It is not known how the man died, said Jackson Police Department Sgt. Eric Smith. An autopsy will be conducted.


It is not known how long the body was there. “It was badly decomposed,” Smith said

Smith would not identify the owner.

A furniture plant had operated on the site since 1946. The last manufacturer to occupy it was Straits Furniture Co. in 1999.
