    Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies have identified a body they found at 7:21 p.m. June 26 in a farm field southwest of Highway 84 and Canton Way in Stanfield.

    The male body was found partially decomposed under a large mesquite tree and appeared to be a suicide where the man had hung himself with a shirt (see“PCSO investigates circumstances leading to the discovery of a dead body “).

    PCSO Homicide detectives identified the body as Pablo Rojas Arvizu, 38, who had been named as a suspect in an aggravated assault domestic violence case a few days earlier.

    The case is still active pending autopsy results.

    Vanessa White, a spokeswoman for PCSO, said a photo of the man, who lived in Arizona City, was not immediately available.
