SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – A man found dead in a river near Springfield has been identified, but the cause of death remains under investigation.

The victim was Thomas Ray Woods. His body was found Monday morning in the Little Sac River. The two people who found the body flagged down a Greene County sheriff’s deputy.

Cpl. James Craigmyle says the investigation is trying to determine if Woods’ death was a suicide, homicide or accident. The investigation is looking into an SUV that had been parked nearby for about a week
