Man’s body found on Jefferson County roadside; investigation underway

A body was found Sunday morning on a Jefferson County roadside.

The discovery was made at 6:40 a.m. by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service in the 200 block of Quebec Drive. Because that location is in unincorporated Jefferson County, the sheriff’s office was notified.

Sheriff’s Lt. Joni Money said deputies found an adult male dead on the scene. There were no obvious signs of trauma.

The body was taken to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy will be performed to determine the identity of the victim, as well as a cause and manner of death.

Sheriff’s detectives are looking into the circumstances surrounding the death.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777 or the sheriff’s office at 205-325-1450, option 2.
