Body found on I-5 in Seattle

SEATTLE-- A death investigation is underway after authorities found a body on the side of Southbound  Interstate 5 near the Convention Center in Seattle.

It happened just after 1:00 A.M. Thursday.

At this point, the Washington State Patrol isn't sure if the pedestrian was hit by a vehicle, or if the person jumped off the overpass.

The investigation blocked several lanes of I-5 for about 3 hours.

The investigation was largely cleared by 6 a.m., officials said.
