MISSOULA - A man whose body was found in the Clark Fork River east of Missoula has been identified as a 29-year-old from Bellevue, Wash.

Missoula County Sheriff Mike McMeekin says rafters spotted the body of Quoc Hong Tuesday afternoon on a gravel bar about six miles downstream from the Rock Creek Lodge. An abandoned vehicle found at the lodge belonged to Hong.

McMeekin says local authorities received a missing person's report on Hong Monday morning. He was last seen on Sunday. An autopsy is planned. McMeekin, who released the identity Wednesday, says foul play is not suspected.
