Body of missing McGregor man found in woods

The body of a missing McGregor man has been found in woods near where he was last seen more than a month ago.

Aitkin County authorities say the body of 52-year-old Patrick Losh was found last Wednesday about four miles south of McGregor.

Someone checking maple trees for the upcoming syrup season found Losh's body. An autopsy indicates he died of hypothermia.

Losh was last seen early on Jan. 18 walking near his home five miles south of McGregor. The sheriff's office says Losh had a history of disappearing.
