Authorities in Ohio have released the identity of a man that was found inside an abandoned car wash.
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office announced on Friday that fingerprints helped identify the body found at the car wash as 53-year-old Christopher M. Coleman, WCMH first reported.
Colman’s remains were found inside the former Super Wash in the 1500 block of Holt Road in the Georgesville Square Shopping Plaza, according to WCMH.
Police found Coleman’s body, “badly decomposed,” inside one of the car wash bays on Wednesday night.
