The corpse was badly decomposed and found in the flooded vicinity of 5900 block of West Commerce Street around 8:30 pm on Friday. This unfortunate discovery marked the second body found in San Antonio this week, following the discovery of a deceased individual tangled in debris in a park on the south side, although no details have been provided at this time.
