Body found in Hugh MacRae Park

Kids playing in Wilmington’s Hugh MacRae park got a most unpleasant surprise last night.

New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputies say around 7:30 p.m. Thursday night the kids found a body underneath a scoreboard along one of the baseball fields.

The sheriff’s office says they don’t suspect foul play, but they will not know for sure until today when an autopsy is performed.
