The St. Joseph News-Press reports that officials have identified the man as James Ford. St. Joseph police say he went missing early Wednesday after going swimming with a woman. His body was found Thursday morning in the river near Atchison, Kansas.

A preliminary autopsy listed the cause of death as drowning.
