Body of Morrow man found off Hale Mountain Road

Washington County deputies have recovered the body of a Morrow man, who was reported missing by his family Tuesday morning.

Washington County Sgt. Dallas McClellan said investigators found Edward Perry, 49, in some bushes on Hale Mountain Road.

"A passerby noticed his scooter off in a ditch," McClellan said. "He had an accident and was killed."

McClellan said no foul play is suspected in Perry's death.

Detectives are awaiting identification from the Arkansas State Crime Lab.

McClellan said Perry was last seen leaving a friend's house in Farmington about 10 p.m. Sunday.

He said Perry suffered from medical issues.

"It looks like he just had an accident on the way home," McClellan said. "He hit a culvert and ran into some weeds. It happened on the same street he lives on."
