GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A medical examiner has determined that a missing New Jersey man whose body was found in North Carolina had been shot three times.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported that the state medical examiner said it was difficult to determine how 24-year-old Bangaly Foday Fofana of East Orange, New Jersey, died because of the decompensation by the time the remains were found.

Construction workers found Fofana’s body Jan. 16. He had been missing since Dec. 3.



Fofana’s family had told investigators he had traveled to Greensboro on business but never returned. Investigators have said they think Fofana was dead for at least a week before his body was found.

No one has been arrested and no suspects have been identified.
