The Cabell County Sheriff's Department has released the man's name. It is Benji Flowers who was 33. He had been missing since Wednesday and lived in the River Bend mobile home park. That's the location where his body was found. It was removed from the river around 6 p.m. Friday.

Flowers' family was looking for him again Friday when they found his body. Police still don't know if this was an accidental death or if foul play was involved.
