Two boaters discovered the remains at 3:08 p.m. and immediately
notified authorities. Logan County respondents included the
coroner's office, EMA dive team, the sheriff's department, both the
Lincoln and Lincoln Rural fire departments, and Illinois State
Police.
The body was recovered and taken to Memorial Medical Center in
Springfield, where an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas advised that DNA results to help identify the individual
will be available in a day or two.
