YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — The Yakima County coroner says an autopsy has found no sign of foul play in the death of a man whose body was found in the Yakima River.

Fishermen found the body Wednesday.

Coroner Jack Hawkins says 28-year-old Kirk Kestner Jr. likely died from falling in the river. Hawkins says the man often camped along the river near where he was found. An official cause of death awaits toxicology test results.
