(KNZA)--The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the death of a Horton man whose body was found in a creek in rural Doniphan County.

According to a release from the KBI, the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a resident around 9:45 Thursday morning who reported finding a body in a tributary of Rock Creek on his property, south of Troy.

The Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office requested KBI assistance. KBI agents and the Crime Scene Response Team responded.

The man was later identified as 55-year-old Darren Blandin. It is unknown how long he had been in the Creek.

An autopsy was conducted on Friday. At this time, the release says foul play is not suspected, but a full death investigation is being conducted as investigators wish to retrace Blandin’s final weeks.

Anyone who has information about this case, or who had contact with Blandin in the months of July or August is asked to contact the KBI at 1-800-KS-CRIME.

The investigation is ongoing.
