LEXINGTON — Dawson County authorities have opened a homicide investigation into the death of a rural Lexington man.

Sheriff Gary Reiber announced Thursday that an autopsy performed on the body of 49-year-old Rodney Marshall confirmed that his death was suspicious.

His office would not say how Marshall died.

Marshall’s body was found Sunday night about seven miles northwest of Lexington.
