TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A body pulled from the Snake River in south-central Idaho late last month has been identified as a 23-year-old Nampa man.

The Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office says dental records helped identify Brandon A. Bean.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lori Stewart says in a statement Monday that Bean was reported missing from Canyon County Dec. 23.

A kayaker on May 24 reported spotting a body in the Snake River west of the Centennial Park boat docks.

Stewart says a cause of death hasn't been determined, but foul play is not suspected in the death.
