Authorities have identified the second of two bodies found below a Mississippi River bridge in St. Cloud.
The body of Michael E. Hennager, 39, of nearby Waite Park, was located last weekend on the west bank of the river, under the Granite City Crossing Bridge, police said Saturday. Police believe he fell to his death.
More than three weeks earlier, police in Waite Park had taken a missing-person report after Hennager had been reported unaccounted for from the group home where he lived.
"At this time the cause and manner of death is not considered suspicious in nature," St. Cloud police said in a statement. "It does appear that Hennager had injuries consistent with a fall from the height of the bridge to the ground where his body was located."
Also last weekend, someone walking on the bridge spotted the body of Hannah P. Udvig, 21, of St. Cloud, on the ice of the river. Udvig also had injuries indicating that she had fallen or jumped, police said. Udvig left behind a young daughter and her fiancé.
