The body of a missing Coon Rapids man was found in a local park Thursday morning, three days after family members say he disappeared from his home.

Officers found the body of Thomas Ronald Crew, 58, in a heavily wooded area of Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, near the boat launch, authorities said.

The Midwest Medical Examiner's office in Ramsey will investigate the cause of death. Foul play is not suspected.

Relatives reported Crew missing Monday morning after they noticed he'd left home sometime overnight. Crew had a history of depression, and loved ones were concerned about his welfare.

Coon Rapids police found Crew's vehicle at the park Monday morning.
