Utility workers found a body Tuesday morning in the desert behind a residential area in Henderson.

Henderson police were called to the scene about 8:15 a.m. when workers from a utility company found the body while doing a pipe line inspection, Henderson police officer Rod Pena said.

The body was found in a desert area between the 215 Beltway and a small cul-de-sac, Paladin Court, in the Heatherstone community near Wigwam Parkway.

Pena said there is “nothing concerning for the well-being of the community.” He would not elaborate.
