GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says investigators believe a body found Wednesday afternoon belongs to a Grand Haven man who went missing in August.

34-year-old James McKinnon was last seen leaving his home near Mercury Drive and River Haven Boulevard on Tuesday, August 30.

We’re told loved ones hadn’t heard from him since.

Deputies responded to Clearwater Lane in Grand Haven Township around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

When they got there, deputies found a man's body in a wooded area.

Investigators say McKinnon's acquaintances were walking through the area when they found what is believed to be his body.

The sheriff's office has not identified the body as belonging to McKinnon, officially, but they believe that is the case.

Investigators will identify the body, cause and manner of death after an autopsy is complete; however, they do not suspect foul play.
