Authorities found a decomposed body in Hall County and were trying to determine how the person died.

The body was found Wednesday night in an industrial area on Chestnut Street, Gainesville police spokesman Kevin Holbrook told Channel 2 Action News.

Police do not know the sex of the person or if foul play was a factor in the death, he said. Autopsy results are pending.
