GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.-
A body found in a canal Tuesday morning was that of a missing diabetic, Mesa County sheriff’s officials confirmed.
Coroner’s officials were still trying to determine how 20-year-old John Atchley died. He was last seen May 19.
His father, Randy, said his son was an insulin-dependent diabetic who only had a 48-hour supply of insulin with him.
More than 50 relatives and volunteers spent Memorial Day searching for the missing man without success.
John Atchley was last seen leaving a party. Witnesses have said he was walking in a “dazed state.”
A jogger found the body near Grand Junction shortly before 7 a.m.
