Boy finds body in Ohio state park

ANDOVER, Ohio (AP) - Authorities believe a body found in a northeastern Ohio state park could be that of a missing Pennsylvania man.

The (Ashtabula) Star Beacon reports that a young boy searching a lake shore for fishing lures found the badly decomposed body earlier this week at Pymatuning State Park.

Ashtabula County Coroner's Office investigator Jim Behr said either dental records or DNA testing will be used to identify the man.

Behr said the man in question was reported missing on July 18. No foul play is suspected. More information about the missing man wasn't immediately available.
