PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, Aug. 21, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Pleasant Grove police have found a body inside a residence in the area of 100 N. Main St.

According to information from the department, the discovery happened in the course of a zoning investigation. Due to circumstances including the department’s history with the house and evidence found at the scene, the bomb squad was called in to make sure the house was secure.

The area was cleared, and has been declared safe, according to a 3 p.m. post on the PGPD Facebook page.

Prior to the “all clear,” several neighbors were evacuated as a precaution, as was the John Hancock Charter School, which began its year on Thursday and added kindergarten students on Tuesday.

“We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate our citizens’ cooperation and understanding during this unusual investigation as we work to keep everyone safe,” the police statement said.
