The body of a missing Utah man has been found, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
John Brent Hunt, 59, had last been seen on May 4, when he told his wife he was going fishing. On Saturday evening, campers reported finding Hunt’s vehicle in southwest Washington county near the Beaver Dam wash. Authorities began to search the area that night, and Hunt’s body was found about 1.4 miles from his vehicle on Sunday morning.
According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Hunt appears to have died several days before his body was found. Foul play is not suspected, but the cause of his death remains under investigation.
