Washington County authorities are investigating the death of a man whose body was found Sunday just south of Lake Isabelle in Hastings.

According to the police release, police responded to a 911 call shortly before 10 a.m. on the 1300 block of Ravenna Trail (10th Street), about 150 feet east of the bridge that crosses the Vermillion River.

While the man’s identity has not been confirmed, investigators believe this incident is connected to a sheriff’s office investigation of a suspicious fire in Denmark Township. Anyone with information is urged to come forward.

Investigators are asking anyone who saw a vehicle stopped at that location between 2 a.m. Saturday and 9:50 a.m. on Sunday to contact the Hastings police at 651-480-2300 or the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 651-439-9381.
