KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The search for a missing man has ended with his body being recovered from a pond in Kalamazoo County.

43-year-old Charles Hunter was reported missing on the night of July 20.  Deputies say Hunter, who is a diabetic, was last seen near the beach area at Markin Glen Park off of N. Westnedge.

Additional units including dive teams were summoned to help with the search.  They looked through the entire beach and camping areas with no success, but a short time later, the Kalamazoo County Dive Team located Hunter’s body in the pond.

The death remains under investigation.
