JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville homicide detectives are investigating after the body of a white man between 50 and 70 years old was found just after 9 a.m. Sunday at Old Kings Road  and St. Clair Street.

Sgt. Mike Silcox with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said a CSX worker found the body in a wooded area adjacent to the train tracks with no obvious signs of foul play.
