(KAIR)--The death of a Platte County man is under investigation.

That word was delivered Friday in a news release issued by the Platte County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim is identified as a 61-year-old white man who was found Friday morning near an overturned boat in the flooded area near Bean Lake, north of Weston.

The Platte County Sheriff’s Office does not suspect foul play.

According to the release, the Sheriff’s Office Thursday evening received a call from the man’s family saying they were unable to contact him.

Attempts to locate him Thursday evening were unsuccessful, but resumed Friday morning.

It was around 11:00 that the overturned boat, and the man’s body, were found.

His name is not immediately made public.

The official cause of death is pending the results of the Medical Examiner’s investigation.

The Platte County Sheriff’s Office was assisted in the investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol Marine Division.
