A Mendota man reported missing in October has been found dead in Rockford. Wesley Shaver was 33 years old. His body was found in a wooded area in Rockford on Saturday. The last place anyone knew he’d been was in Rockford in September.
The Rockford Register Star reports Winnebago County Coroner Bill Hintz did an autopsy Tuesday, but he says further testing is necessary to determine a cause of death. Dental records were used to confirm that the body is Shaver’s. Rockford’s police department says the cause doesn’t appear to be suspicious.
