AUSTELL - Construction crews in south Cobb County found a body in a coffin Wednesday that may have been buried for half a century. <br>
<br>
The coffin was unearthed on private land in a subdivision off Veterans Memorial Highway where a house once stood. <br>
<br>
Police said they do not suspect foul play, since being buried on one's own land was not uncommon 50 years ago. <br>

The body was taken to the medical examiner's office for identification. The examiner will attempt to contact any local relatives of the deceased.
