TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A 78-year-old man reported missing earlier this month was found dead Wednesday in a Tucson national park, authorities said.

Pima County Sheriff’s officials said deputies received information from the U.S. Park Service around noon that a body had been located in Saguaro National Park West.

Deputies responded to the scene and were able to identify the dead man as William Trotter.

Sheriff’s officials said the dead doesn’t appear to be suspicious, but their investigation is ongoing and pending an autopsy.

They said Trotter was reported missing by friends after not being seen for several days.

Trotter was officially listed as a missing person on Feb. 9.
