The community is mourning after police found a deceased person in a Maple Grove neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.

“It is with a sad heart that I have to tell you my son’s body was found in the woods along a bike trail we frequented in our neighborhood,” Sheila Chambers wrote. “He is no longer with us. Now at least we have closure although my heart is breaking. Thank you everyone for your efforts. We will hear from the medical examiner later today and will plan funeral arrangements that I will post later if you’d like to attend. Please give us time to grieve and some privacy. Love to all of you.”
Sheila Chambers posted this photo of herself and her son, Nathaniel Chambers, on Facebook.
