HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — The body of a missing northwest Harris County man was found on the roof of a building Friday, and now his friends and family are wondering why he wasn’t found sooner.

Jonathan Flores, 32, appeared to have been electrocuted, according to his friend Christian Briones, who discovered his body protruding from an air conditioning unit on the roof of a business park on West Sam Houston Parkway, near West Road.

“His body was lying inside what I was trying to take apart,” Briones said.

Flores’ girlfriend said he left home early Sunday morning.

Based on previous conversations with him, she said she suspected he might be somewhere in the vicinity of the business park and said she asked detectives to look there when she filed a missing person report Wednesday.

“They didn’t look. They didn’t want to look, and I told them,” Briones said.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has not responded to emails from Eyewitness News seeking information about the case.

Briones said he took it upon himself to look for his friend and found his bike abandoned about a half mile from the business park.

“That’s when I knew something wasn’t right,” he said.

When he arrived at the business park, he said he was immediately overcome by a strange smell.

“There’s no way they can’t smell that,” he said.

Briones said he climbed a ladder to reach the roof, where he discovered his friend’s decomposing body.

You can only speculate as to why Flores might have been there.

“I just don’t know what the hell was going through his head at that moment,” he said.

What he does know is that he has lost a dear friend who, he says, was more like a brother at times.

“I lived right across the street from him. I came in, fixed my air conditioning right away. I didn’t ask for anything. He was just my friend,” Briones said.
