Updated: Nov. 27, 3 p.m.

Authorities in Goodhue County say a 57-year-old man missing for more than a week was found dead on Sunday afternoon.

Brad Nagel’s body was found on his property near Red Wing, the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office reported. The agency continues to investigate, but said Monday that no foul play is suspected.

Nagel’s truck was found the previous weekend in a back channel of the Mississippi River, on the Wisconsin side. Authorities were unsure when the vehicle entered the water.

The Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office had said Nagel was reported missing just after 5 p.m. on Nov. 16, after missing a work commitment.
