TCSO Investigating After Body Found on Bitting School Road
At 2:18 p.m. on Sunday, February 23, 2025, TCSO received a 911 call from someone reporting he found a body on the 9700 block of Bitting School Road.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the caller who directed them to a roadside area where the body was concealed under a tarp. The body, an adult male estimated to be in his 40s, was obviously deceased and in later stages of decomposition.
The identity of the deceased will not be released until positive identification has been made by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office and next of kin has been notified. An autopsy is expected to be completed Monday.
Preliminary evidence suggests to detectives that the decedent may be a transient who was left on the side of the roadway after dying. While the death is suspicious, detectives have no reason to believe the public is in any danger.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the TCSO Tip Line at 512-854-1444 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.
