UPDATE: Wednesday, 11/11
LOGAN, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- There are new developments in the criminal case of a man who wandered away from a rehabilitation center, fell into a river and died.

David Milon's body was discovered on November 3.

He was in the care center following a fight where he received a massive head injury on October 3rd.

State Police in Logan say Jere Morrison is the man who got into a fight with Milon and caused that head injury.

Morrison is 18 and from Logan.

He was arrested Tuesday night and brought back to West Virginia from Tennessee.

According to State Police, Morrison will not be charged in connection to Milon's death. He will only face charges stemming from that fight in October.

The family of Charles Milon, known to most as "David," says his body was found in the Guyandotte River Tuesday morning.

Milon went missing from the Logan Center around 10:30 p.m. Monday.

Officials with the center say they discovered he was missing during their regular night rounds. They immediately did a room-to-room search of the building and the grounds. Police were then called in to help with the search.

More than 45 people helped out with the search overnight. State Police brought in search dogs to help track the man's scent. Just before 10 a.m. Tuesday, someone made a grim discovery.

"We got the call from 911 that city workers from Logan had located the body in the river," said Roger Bryant, director of Logan County Office of Emergency Management.

The body was found in the water under the Middleburg Bridge.

For Milon's family, there are a lot of questions.

"My first reaction was how could this happen? He was supposed to be in secure facility," said Milon's brother-in-law Richard Danish. "I don't think I'll ever understand it. I don't know if they'll ever be any answers for all of it."

Milon had been at the Logan Center for about a month. He was recovering from severe head trauma.

His family says Milon worked as a cook for P.R.I.D.E. for more than a decade. The organization helps out low income families.

"The elderly people loved him," Danish said. "He would even sneak them extra portions, and he wasn't supposed to."

Jimmy Justice, the Logan Center administrator, released a statement saying, "Our hearts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. We are cooperating fully with the police department as they conduct the investigation."

The body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy. The Logan County Sheriff's Department says the case remains under investigation.
