SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTY — A 39-year-old missing man from Manistique has been located deceased following the temporary closure of the Manistique East Breakwater Lighthouse and nearby areas Wednesday.

According to a press release, the preliminary investigation indicates no signs of foul play, though the investigation is ongoing. The lighthouse and park areas have been reopened.

On Tuesday, the Michigan State Police (MSP) Manistique Outpost received a request for troopers to open a missing person investigation. There were no apparent signs of suspicious circumstances, and it was unclear where the 39-year-old man may have gone or why he was missing, MSP said.

Initial attempts to locate the man were unsuccessful.

On Wednesday, troopers searched the area of the lighthouse and nearby park and located property items which were confirmed to have belonged to the missing man, whose name has not been released.

The MSP Marine Services Team was contacted and responded to search the nearby water. After searching late into the night on Wednesday, MSP divers located the missing man deceased in the water.

MSP Manistique troopers were assisted by the MSP Marine Services Team, Manistique Public Safety Department, MSP Eighth District Detective Bureau and MSP Negaunee Regional Communications Center.
