ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) - Police say a dead body has been found on the grounds of the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine.

Police tell the St. Augustine Record (https://bit.ly/1ScAank ) they were called out to investigate a body at the popular tourist site on Thursday morning.

Spokesman Mark Samson says it appears to be the body of a homeless person who had been ill recently. Police did not release the person’s name.
