HELENA - The Cascade County coroner's office says a body of a man recovered days ago from the Missouri River is a Montana man who was reported missing late last month.

KFBB-TV reports Sunday that the coroner's office has confirmed John Ritland's body was found Friday just below Rainbow Dam. It says the coroner doesn't suspect foul play was involved in the Great Falls man's death.

The 36-year-old Ritland was reported missing on June 27 when he didn't report for work.
