Body found in retention pond in Humble nature center, authorities say

HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- A death investigation is underway after a body was found in Humble on Monday, according to the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.

Humble police and deputy constables responded to Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Center in the 20600 block of Kenswick Drive at around 5 p.m.

Three people fishing in the pond, which is more than a mile from the park entrance, discovered the body, Humble PD assistant chief Dan Zientek said.

Authorities had to request a water rescue team to recover the body, believed to be that of a male.

There were no obvious signs of trauma due to decomposition, according to Zientek.

An autopsy will determine how the person died.
