MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. – Police are seeking further investigation for a body found early Saturday morning.

Police were called to Bridges Street Extension near Friendly Road around 7:25 a.m. after a person running along the street found a body about four-five feet off the road.

The man found dead was later identified as 52-year-old Ernest McNair of Florida. Police believe McNair recently moved to the area and was living in a hotel in Morehead City.

Investigators say a recreational path runs parallel with Bridges Street Extension and it was an early morning jogger that found that body.

Police do not suspect foul play, but they’ll continue to investigate the case until the autopsy is complete Monday.
