Police are trying to piece together the circumstances surrounding the death of a 45-year-old James City County man, whose body was found in a grassy area near a motel Saturday.
Authorities identified the man as Terrence Orlando Pressey.
Pressey’s body was taken to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Norfolk where an autopsy was performed “that determined that he was the victim of a homicide,” James City County Police said.
That was the manner of death. Police declined to release a cause of death, citing an open investigation.
Authorities also did not release information on a time of death.
Officers were called at 7:30 a.m. Saturday to the Motel Zima at 6493 Richmond Road in the Lightfoot area.
“Somebody saw the body lying in the grass (next to the parking lot),” said Deputy Police Chief Steve Rubino.
Rubino said the department just received the autopsy results Tuesday morning.
Pressey was not reported missing prior to his death.
Authorities are asking anyone with information that would help in the investigation to call the Crime Line at 888-LOCK-U-UP. You can also submit tips at P3tips.com.
