SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities in Sioux Falls are working to learn the identity of a man whose body was found in the Big Sioux River.
The body was found near the spillway just down the hill from the State Penitentiary about 6 p.m. Sunday, according to police spokesman Sam Clemens.
Passersby called police after realizing the clothing they spotted in the water was actually a body.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the man’s identity and his cause of death, officials said.
