A group of teenagers fishing in Lake Houston discovered the body of a deceased male at approximately 7:20 p.m. today.

The Houston Police Department Kingwood Division was called to the 1000 block of West Lake Houston Parkway to meet with Harris County Deputies who informed them that some teens had discovered a deceased male underneath of the bridge.

"Our HPD-Kingwood officer, having talked with teens, was taken to the body of the deceased male and began to investigate," HPD Homicide Detective Robert Klementich said on the scene. "The Atascocita Volunteer Fire Department declared the man deceased and notified HPD Homicide who responded to the scene."

Because of the state of decomposition, the Houston Police Department declined whether to determine what the age or race of the victim was. The male's identity is pending investigation and notification of next of kin.

According to Klementich, there could possibly be a wallet in the back pocket of the man's pants that could them further identify the deceased.

"We will follow up, checking with missing person reports not only for the city of Houston and Harris County, but also for Montgomery County to determine if this person is being missed by a loved one here in the area," Klementich said.
