STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 months, 3 weeks AGO
BEVERLY — Investigators made a possible match Monday evening in confirming the identity of the man who was found along Crab Creek, according to a statement from Grant County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Kyle Foreman.
“Coroner’s investigators believe they have found the family of the man who was recovered from Crab Creek on Sunday,” Kyle Foreman wrote in the statement.
The coroner’s staff has not yet released the man’s name because they are awaiting a familial DNA test to verify the identity, according to the statement. There is no current timeline for those results to return.
The body was found by a kayaker Saturday evening about 3.5 miles east of state Route 243 near Beverly in the southwestern part of Grant County.
As of Tuesday morning, the cause and manner of death were pending the return of lab results, according to the statement.
“There is no sign of foul play,” Foreman wrote.
