Body of missing Minn. man found

The body of a Pine River man who wandered away from a group home last month has been found.

The Cass County sheriff's office says the body of 55-year-old Duane Paul Prokott was found Monday in a storage building in the Pine River area.

Authorities say Prokott appeared to have died from natural causes. The Ramsey County medical examiner's office is performing an autopsy.

Prokott was last seen May 24 at the Amarillo House in Pine River. He was reported missing two days later.
