Lexington County deputies have launched a death investigation after a man’s body was found at an abandoned rest area off Interstate 20.
The investigation is in its early stages and few details are known, the Sheriff's Department released on social media Wednesday morning.
The investigation is in its early stages and few details are known. 
The man, who has not yet been identified, was found dead Wednesday morning at the edge of some woods, deputies said.
Major crimes detectives and crime scene investigators are on the scene, which used to be a rest area off I-20 West. It’s near mile marker 49, which is just past the Longs Pond Road exit.
Deputies say their investigation is in its early stages, so it’s not yet clear how the man died.
Investigators say they also don’t know how old the man was, or how long his body had been there.
More details will be posted as soon as they are released.

The body was found about 8 am Wednesday by a state trooper patrolling the former interstate rest area.
Because troopers regularly patrol the location, we believe the body was placed or left there sometime after Tuesday afternoon.
The department said it’s too early to say anything beyond that in terms of a time line or potential foul play.
