"Monterey County sheriff's deputies are investigating a body found near the Carmel Crossroads Shopping Center on Friday.\n\nThe body was discovered around 10:30 a.m. by a backhoe operator who was working in a field off Rio Road, across from the Shell gas station.\n\nInvestigators said at this point they're not sure how long the body has been there.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They are also having trouble identifying whether it's a man or woman because of the extensive decomposition.\n\nSheriff's deputies said it is too early to tell whether this is a homicide and will be checking the area for missing-persons reports.\n\n\u201CThat will be one of the first obvious things that we'll check on,\u201D said Cmdr. John Thornburg. \u201CEspecially if it was a homeless person or something that may have gone missing in the area.\"\n\nAnyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office.\n\nAn autopsy will be performed Monday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
