Woman’s body found in southwest Iowa cornfield

DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities say a 31-year-old woman’s body was found a cornfield Saturday night in a field west of Lenox in Taylor County.

The woman’s identity and the cause of her death have not been released. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says preliminary information didn’t show any obvious sign of foul play.

An autopsy will be performed early this week.
