A body has been found in a pond north of Interstate 74 in Champaign.

Champaign Police spokeswoman Rene Dunn says a passerby discovered the deceased male face down in the water just before 4 Wednesday afternoon in the 300 block of West Marketview Drive. Emergency workers used a boat to get to the body.

Dunn says the Champaign County Coroner's Office is investigating. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning in Bloomington.
