An investigation is underway after the body of a young man was found floating in standing water in a ditch in the 2900 block of Pear Street, the location of a quadruple-fatality accident earlier this month.

St. Joseph police are trying to determine whether the discovery is related to the fatal crash on April 9th.

No identification has been released other than it appears to be the body of a young man in his 20s. No foul play is suspected in the death.

A head-on crash April 9th in that area killed Amy Morse of St. Joseph and her three young children.
