Authorities in Randolph County have
identified a Mexican citizen who was found dead in the Black River.
Officials say 23-year-old Rogelio Ortiz Vazquez worked in a
restaurant in Pocahontas. His body was found snagged on a tree limb
by two fisherman near the U.S. 67 bridge on September 29th. The
man`s body was taken to the state Crime Laboratory, where a medical
examiner found no signs of foul play.
Vazquez was identified when medical examiners compared a thumb
print from his body to one on his Mexican identification card.
