Male body found in ditch along Hi-Line

Authorities are investigating the discovery of a male body along northeastern Montana’s Hi-Line near the North Dakota border.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the discovery of a male body along northeastern Montana’s Hi-Line near the North Dakota border.

Roosevelt County Sheriff Freedom Crawford said the body was found Friday in a ditch along U.S. Highway 2 near the town of Bainville.

Crawford said deputies responded and are trying to determine the cause of death.

Crawford declined to say whether foul play was suspected and would not immediately offer any more details including the age of the deceased male.

Montana Department of Justice spokeswoman Judy Beck said two agents from the Division of Criminal Investigation will assist in the probe at Crawford’s request.
