House hunters find corpse while viewing property

Grim discovery in Texas comes almost a year to the day that a homebuyer in Maryland found a dead body in his new residence.

Despite covid, many folks across America have got the house hunting bug.

In fact, by some measures, home sales across the country are at levels not seen in well over 10 years.

Yes, the process of finding a new place to live can be a lot of fun. But it can also, rarely, conceal hidden horrors, including dead bodies.

Last year, a homebuyer in Maryland was shocked when they found a body in the property they had just purchased.

And just this weekend, an unlucky couple spotted a corpse at a property they were looking at in Texas, police said.

The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. Saturday at a home under construction in Katy, news station KHOU reported.

While touring the property, the couple spotted a man’s body in a drainage ditch behind the backyard, authorities said.

The man’s body appeared to have been there for a couple of days, KHOU reported.

He had suffered some trauma, though the circumstances surrounding his death weren’t immediately clear.

An autopsy was ordered to determine the cause of death, authorities said.

“As of right now, we’re not really sure exactly what happened to the individual,” Harris County Sheriff Sgt. Jason Brown told reporters, the Houston Chronicle reported.
