No trauma on body of Juneau man found in wetlands

The Alaska State Medical Examiner says there was no obvious trauma on the body of a Juneau man found in the Mendenhall Wetlands.

KTUU-TV reports that the medical examiner identified the dead man as 56-year-old John Ross Knudson of Juneau. Two duck hunters found his body when hunting in the wetlands Wednesday morning.

Juneau Police spokesman Lt. David Campbell says the body was exposed to the elements for a minimum of several days, making identification difficult.
