EMMETT, Idaho (AP) — A southwestern Idaho coroner has identified the body of a man found in Gem County.

KIVI-TV (http://bit.ly/1YWAZm0 ) reports that Gem County Coroner John Buck says 31-year-old Nigel Youngerg was found near the Payette River on April 26.

Youngberg had been missing from his Emmett home since April 10 following a disturbance.

Law enforcement officials say they stopped Youngberg later that evening, but he fled on foot.

An autopsy has been performed, but it could take several weeks to determine the cause of death.
