Missing Manhattan Man Died By Drowning: Coroner

COAL CITY, IL — An autopsy completed on Manhattan man Anthony Fehrenbacher determined the 47-year-old died by drowning, Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said.

The body of Fehrenbacher was found early Saturday morning floating in a lake at CECO Recreation Club, 1210 N. Dresden Rd. Grundy County Sheriff Ken Briley said. Fehrenbacher had been missing since May 26.

Briley said Saturday the death would be investigated as a homicide to rule out foul play. Coroner John Callahan said a manner of death will not be declared until an investigation is completed.

The coroner's office will continue to work in weeks to come to determine how Fehrenbacher arrived at the location, in addition to analyzing toxicology results, and other factors.

A manner of death is expected to be determined within four to five weeks.
