CORNWALL — Cornwall police have ruled out foul play after emergency crews responded to what’s being described as a “sudden death” in a wooded area off Saunders Drive.
Emergency responders were on scene just before 1:30 p.m. and quickly cordoned off the entire street.
The area in question is in the woods behind what once was the old soccer dome site.
The victim was found inside a vehicle.
