There was no indication of foul play in the death of a man whose body was found in the Diversion Channel on Monday, an autopsy revealed Tuesday.
Bobby Hennecke, 59, had been missing since Jan. 15, and a fisherman found his body Monday. Authorities identified the man as Hennecke after they found his wallet on the body.
After an autopsy Tuesday morning, Cape Girardeau County Coroner John Clifton said there were no signs of trauma on Hennecke's body. His cause of death is still unknown.
Toxicology results should be complete in four to six weeks, Clifton said.
