Authorities are investigating after the body of a Vancouver man was found in Burnt Bridge Creek on Thursday.

Police and fire personnel were dispatched to Vancouver Granite Works, 6008 E. 18th St., just before 11 a.m. for what was reported as a drowning.

They discovered the man, who was deceased, and recovered the body.

The man was identified as Jon Kubicsek, 54, according to the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said that there were no signs of foul play, but that the agency is waiting for the medical examiner’s office for an official ruling on the cause and manner of death.

Once that is known, Kapp said detectives will have a better idea of what kind of investigation they have.
