Body found on Bloomington's West side

The body of William F. Kline, 51, of Bloomington was found behind Marsh Supermarket on Bloomington’s West side.

The Bloomington Police Department received a call at about 3:30 a.m. Thursday regarding a man, 42, who appeared to have been in a fight, said BPD Capt. Joe Qualters. The caller had seen the man walking through the strip mall area near Marsh Supermarket at 3516 W. Third St.

When police arrived at the scene, the man said he had been involved in a verbal argument earlier that night. He told police the argument turned into a physical fight before he left the scene.

Police found Kline's body in a camp site set up by homeless people in the wooded area behind Marsh. Kline's body had injuries that appeared consistent with being in a fight, Qualters said. It is too early to tell whether Kline's death is the result of natural causes or a criminal act, Qualters said. An autopsy is scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday in Terre Haute. The 42-year-old is still being treated for injuries at Bloomington Hospital.

Alcohol was probably a factor in the altercation, Qualters said.
