HELENA - Authorities say an autopsy confirms that a man whose body was found in a creek in East Helena died from drowning and no foul play was involved.

Lewis and Clark County Coroner Mickey Nelson tells the Independent Record that there's no evidence of anyone else being involved in the death of 30-year-old Darrel Dullum, of East Helena. Dullum's body was found in Prickly Pear Creek on Saturday, some two months after he went missing.

Police say Dullum was last seen leaving an East Helena bar early on Dec. 5.
