The Livingston County Coroner's Office is working to identify a body found Tuesday in Pontiac's Jaycee Park.

Coroner Mike Burke said his deputy, Danny Wilson, pronounced the person dead just before 5:30 pm.

A young man practicing baseball found the male body. The Pontiac police and the Illinois State Police crime scene technicians were on the scene.

Burke said an autopsy has been ordered and identification will be done through dental records.
