An autopsy was scheduled for this morning on the body found off a logging road outside of Morton on Tuesday.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office and Lewis County Coroner’s Office have still not said if they’ve concluded the body is that of missing Morton 16-year-old Austin King.
After the autopsy, the remains will be taken to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, where additional test will be conducted by a forensic anthropologist, according to sheriff’s Cmdr. Steve Aust.
Austin was last seen by his mother early on the morning of June 23.
