Man’s body recovered from creek in Kearney

KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have recovered the body of a man from a creek on the south side of Kearney.

The body was spotted Tuesday in debris about three-quarters a mile (1 kilometer) east from where the man was last seen Monday afternoon. Officers had found a bicycle and clothing on the embankment near where he was originally seen. The search was called off Monday night and resumed around 7 a.m. Tuesday.

The man’s name hasn’t been released yet. Kearney police Sgt. Dennis Byrne says it’s unclear what circumstances led to the man’s death.
