LAKE PLACID - Investigators have identified the body found Monday in the Sun 'N Lakes subdivision in Lake Placid.

Jose A. Cabrera Cirino, 48, of Sebring, was found at 3:48 p.m., in the undeveloped eastern portion of the subdivision, according to a Highlands County Sheriff's Office press release. He is listed as a white male of apparent Hispanic origin.
