A game of hide-and-seek took a macabre turn over the weekend when children in Texas found a dead man’s body, police said.

The body was discovered by kids playing outside The Park at Bellevue apartment complex in west Fort Worth just before 1 p.m. Saturday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

The man’s cause and manner of death was not immediately clear, but homicide detectives are investigating, WFAA reported.

It’s unclear if an autopsy had been completed as of early Monday, a spokeswoman for the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office told The Post.
