Cochrane Alberta - Members of the Cochrane RCMP detachment have launched an investigation following Monday morning's discovery of a body along the train tracks near the intersection of Highway 1A and Highway 22.
 
Cpl Troy Savinkoff says the conductor of a CP train spotted the body shortly after 08:00 and alerted the authorities.
 
"Upon arrival, we discovered a deceased male who was lying in close proximity to the CP tracks," said Savinkoff.
 
"We're still trying to determine a couple of things including his identity as well as the reason how he found himself next to the tracks."
 
"We still haven't conclusively determined if a train was part of this unfortunate incident."
 
According to Savinkoff, the deceased is a male believed to be in his late 20's or early 30's.
