The body discovered in Spring Valley early Saturday morning was identified as a man believed to be between 27 and 34 years old, according to police.

Officials say they received a report of a body beneath a parked truck on nearby Park Avenue at 7:15 a.m. that morning.

Police say there is no indication the parked truck was involved and the incident did not occur immediately before the discovery of the body.

Ramapo Police, the Rockland District Attorney's Office, Spring Valley Police and the Rockland County Sheriff's Office are investigating the death .

Authorities had not released a cause of death or the identity of the person as of Sunday night.
