A death investigation is underway after two male bodies were found in the vicinity of McAfee Knob in Catawba, according to the Roanoke County Police Department.
At about 6 a.m. on Friday, police responded to the McAfee Knob trailhead parking lot on Catawba Road after receiving a call from hikers who had found two bodies.
Authorities said both males were found lying in the gravel; Roanoke County Police don’t believe animals were involved.
We’re told there is no danger to the public.
Details are limited about what may have happened. Police are not calling this a murder investigation just yet, but they are calling it a crime scene.
