CARROLL COUNTY, Ohio —

Officials are awaiting autopsy results after a 61-year-old hunter was found dead Thursday night in Carroll County.

The body of Robert Hepner, of Columbiana County, was found near a tree after a 90-minute search. A family member had reported he didn't return home from a night of raccoon hunting.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol provided an airplane to help with the search.

Sheriff Dale Williams said an autopsy will determine the cause of death, but he said there were no signs of foul play, and it appears that Hepner had a heart attack.
