Cedar Rapids Police are investigating a death after construction workers found a body Monday.
In a release from the City, workers on a site in the area of 64th Avenue and Edgewood Road Southwest contacted authorities just before 8:45 am, saying they discovered a body. Arriving officers discovered a deceased male, who has been identified as 20-year-old Asukulu Mmengwa.
