The body of an 80-year-old man was found Monday in the Ogden River, about two miles up Ogden Canyon.
Members of the man’s family called police when they found his car parked alongside State Route 39, which follows the river, FOX 13 reported.
They also believed some items found near the river belonged to the man, Weber County Sheriff’s Lt. Matt Jensen told FOX 13.
“After about an hour, one of the teams located the man caught up against some brush on the side of the bank,” Jensen said.
Investigators don’t know how the man came to be in the river, Jensen said.
