The body of a 24-year-old Manning man missing since Friday has been found, according to the Clarendon County Coroner's Office.
Deputy Coroner Charles Jackson confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the partially clothed body of Emanuel Torres was found on Fawn Ridge Lane in Manning, about 2.5 miles from his home on Arlene Road. Family said he left the home between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday, saying he was going to meet someone down the road.
Jackson said Torres's body will be sent for an autopsy at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
"I cannot really speculate on anything right now," Jackson said. "I cannot say yet whether we believe foul play is involved or not."
Law enforcement had blocked off the area around Fawn Ridge Lane to thru-traffic.
