Authorities have found a naked body belonging to a Virginia man who was reported missing on May 6.
Norfolk Police Department confirmed it identified a body, which officers found floating in the Lafayette River in the Talbot Park neighborhood on May 7, as John E. Cash.
Cash, 25, was last seen the day before about 8 p.m. when he left his Norfolk home near Granby and Thole streets wearing no clothes at all. He was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia and requires medication.
The grisly find came after a concerned citizen phoned police dispatchers just before 5:30 p.m. local time to report a man’s body floating just off the shore near the 7,000 block of Mallard Drive.
Norfolk detectives described Cash as measuring 6 feet tall, weighing 190 pounds, having short black hair, brown eyes, and a thin goatee.
