Sanford, N.C. — A hunter checking a deerstand found a body in the woods of northwest Lee County late Thursday, authorities said.

The body of Thomas Matthew Coore, 23, of Pittsboro, was found about 300 yards off Gilliam Road, authorities said. He appeared to have been stabbed, but investigators are awaiting an autopsy report to determine the cause of death, authorities said.

I live in the area where this happened. It's really shocking to everyone. Our prayers go out to the family. Hopefully they will get some answers soon.

I know the mom personally and she is a great person with a wonderful family. My payers are with them all. I also live in Lee county and have made it to age 42 and still working full-time!!!!!! Let the negativity go and have some compassion for the family, it could hit close to home someday.

It's a shame you are more concerned for the hunter than someone's son. Thanks to the hunter for finding Matthew so his family can bury him. They are in pretty bad shape right now and would like some answers. He was loved by many and will be missed.
