Homicide Detectives are investigating a suspicious death in a Jacksonville cemetery.

Authorities have identified the victim as 24 year old Levi Rollins.  They say Rollins was last seen by a relative Sunday.

A crew of gravediggers at the Riverside Memorial Park noticed a Honda Accord had been parked at the cemetery for a number of days. When they walked up to the vehicle, they found Rollins' body inside of the car.

Jacksonville Police were on scene by noon Wednesday and the Westside cemetery became a crime scene.

"We do suspect foul play at this time," says Sgt. Derrick Lewis with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Both the body and the Honda were removed from the graveyard around 3:30pm on Wednesday.

There's no confirmation on how the victim died or who may have killed him.
