Body found at south Caddo Parish well site

Caddo sheriff's deputies say they do not suspect foul play in the death of a man discovered this morning at a Petrohawk well site.

The 49-year-old Texas man was discovered dead at the site this morning by a subcontractor who arrived to find the man's 18-wheeler idling and the man deceased on top of a well tank located on site. The property is located on Hwy. 1 South about one-quarter mile north of the Red River parish line.

The man was employed by a company that was contracted to deliver sand to the well site. It is believed he made the delivery on Tuesday. The delivery was believed to be his last of the day before he was off duty.

An autopsy is expected to determine the cause of death. No name has been released pending notification of next of kin.
