While collecting evidence, officers found the body of a Black man in a horse pasture near the home where the clothing was found. A gun was found near the body but officials are not able to say at this time whether the man was shot.
Bannock County Coroner Torey Danner told EastIdahoNews.com the man has not yet been identified.
Though the body was found near the site of a double-shooting investigators cannot say at this time whether the incidents were related.
