A preliminary report eliminated foul play in the death of man whose body was found floating in the upper chamber of the Ohio River near Stratton last Friday.

Employees at the New Cumberland Locks and Dam discovered the body of a 5 feet 11 inch tall man between the ages of 50 and 70 years old with gray-whitish hair with a receding hairline. He was wearing cargo pants and work boots when he was found.

Hancock County Sheriff Mike White told News9 that the report released does not indicate how long the body was in the river due to the frigid weather conditions but it does eliminate a lot of the missing people who have been reported to different agencies across the country.

The final report from the State Medical Examiner's Office is expected in a few weeks.
