SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) - Final autopsy results show a Scottsbluff man whose body was found in a ditch died of hypothermia.
Scottsbluff Police Capt. Brian Wasson says a pathologist concluded after toxicology test results were obtained that 45-year-old Billy LaDeaux died of his exposure to the elements. Wasson says nothing found by investigators suggests LaDeaux died as a result of a crime.
Two teenage boys found the body on April 29. LaDeaux was last seen by relatives on April 27, and Wasson says LaDeaux exchanged text messages with someone on April 28.
