The Springfield Police Department have identified the man who was found dead in a ditch near Wal-Mart on Thursday morning as James Cochran, a 29-year-old resident of the Southern View area who also has ties to Peoria, IL.

Cochran was found by a passerby at 8:42 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of 11th and Lejune Dr, which is adjacent to Wal-Mart and Aldi. The passerby was alarmed by a Siberian Husky who was running back in forth barking towards a tall patch of grass, that still has a leash attached to its harness.

He was partially submerged face down in about a foot of water, Springfield police said. A Pikachu backpack was found nearby, police said.

More than eight Springfield police officers were on the scene immediately after the call. One officer investigated in the ditch, and Springfield Ambulance workers climbed down the steep banks of the ditch, described as around 6 feet deep, and recovered the body by 9:30 a.m.

Cochran had evidence of defensive stab wounds to the hands as well as a deep gash to the back of the head. An autopsy and toxicology examination have yet to be completed. However, Police investigators believe that foul play is involved.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
