The body of an unidentified man has been found behind an elementary Catholic school in the small town of St. Isidore, Ont., and Ontario Provincial Police are investigating.

A young, adult male was found dead in a grassy area.
At the scene later Saturday afternoon OPP cruisers were guarding the area, which was cordoned off with police tape.
