Decomposed body is that of missing man

YOUNGSTOWN — The decomposed body of a man reported missing June 12 was found around 3 a.m. Monday inside the basement of a vacant three-plex apartment building at 309 W. Glenaven Ave. on the South Side.

Lawrence E. Anderson II, 22, of East Pasadena Avenue was identified by a tattoo on his right forearm, said Rick Jamrozik, a coroner’s investigator.

The body was sent to Cleveland for autopsy, Jamrozik said. A ruling on the death is pending autopsy results.

Police were sent to the vacant building to check out a foul smell, reports show. When Anderson’s mother reported him missing, she told police that she’d heard from several juveniles that he was dead and had been burned up in a car.
