The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a grim discovery during the Friday morning commute.
A commuter called 911 after seeing a body on Interstate 43 southbound, under the Greenfield Avenue overpass.
The call came in around 8:30 Friday morning after someone reported seeing a body on the off-ramp to Lapham Boulevard. Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene with Milwaukee Fire Department personnel in case life-saving measures were possible.
Deputies say the person had no pulse and was not breathing when they arrived.
The sheriff's office cleared the scene after roughly 3 hours. People who live nearby, like Rebeca Soto, say they had no idea anything happened.
"Nothing really happens around here," Soto said.
She says she was disturbed to learn about the body on the freeway, after hearing what sounded like gunshots on Thursday night.
"That's really concerning and scary to think that's going on here in the neighborhood," Soto added.
Authorities have not released details on the circumstances surrounding the death or the person that was found.
