OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- An autopsy will be done Monday on an unidentified body pulled from the Fox River.

Emergency officials say a boater reported seeing the body about 4 p.m. Saturday. Oshkosh police say the man was already dead, and they think he had been in the water for a while.

Winnebago County deputy coroner Donna Francart says the man was in his mid-to-late 20s, but he has not been identified and no cause of death has been determined.

Police Sgt. Todd Wrage says investigators are looking into missing persons reports.

Saturday was the second time in a week that a body was pulled from Oshkosh waters.

The Winnebago County Sheriff's Department dive and rescue team recovered the body of a 60-year-old fisherman on Wednesday. He accidentally drowned while fishing near Asylum Bay.
