SUMMIT, Iron County — Law enforcement officials were led to a decomposing body on May 22 just south of this small community.

The male body remained unidentified Friday, and the cause of death was still being determined.

The body was sent to the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.

The Iron County Sheriff's Office is working with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to identify the victim, as well as to determine why the body was in Iron County.
