Police in Council Bluffs report officers were dispatched a little after 10-a.m. today (Thursday), to the old, vacant No Frills Supermarket store at 1817 West Broadway, for a death investigation. While the store’s shelving and coolers were being removed by a contract firm, a body was found. The body appears to have been there an extended period of time.

The Pottawattamie County Medical Examiner’s Office responded, and is conducting an investigation along with the Council Bluffs Police Department. The Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office has ordered an autopsy and the body will be transported their facility in Ankeny.
