SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A 33-year-old Salem man reported drunk and missing has been found dead in a drainage ditch.

The police tell the Statesman Journal (https://stjr.nl/1iTxiKj ) that family members were looking for Dustin Hill when they found his body Sunday evening in a drainage ditch near McNary Field.

Police say Hill was observed to be, in their words, “highly intoxicated” on Saturday night and didn’t come home. They say the death appears to be an accident.
