Missing man's remains found on river island

TRENTON, Wis. (AP) — The remains of a man who had been missing since March have been found on an island in the Mississippi River near the Wisconsin town of Trenton.

Hunters came across the remains on Sunday morning on an island south of Red Wing, Minn., in the backwaters of the Mississippi. The Pierce County, Wis. sheriff's department says the body had become lodged in debris on the island.

Officers searched the body and found a Minnesota driver's license for 53-year-old Robert More. Dental records confirmed his identity.

More was reported missing on March 28 from his houseboat on the Mississippi near Trenton. Authorities believe he fell off and drowned.

The Pierce County medical examiner says there was no foul play.
