TYONEK, Alaska (AP) - Alaska State Troopers say a body found in a lake near Tyonek (tie-OH’-neck) is believed to that of a man missing since late October.
Troopers in a Wednesday web posting say the body was found floating in the lake Tuesday evening.
The cause of death wasn’t immediately determined, but troopers say nothing suspicious was observed. The body will be sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage for an autopsy.
Authorities say they believe the remains are those of 45-year-old Eugene Bismark of Tyonek, who was reported missing Oct. 25.
Tyonek is located on the northwest shore of Cook Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Anchorage.
