GREENBUSH, Maine — A Greenbush man who was reported missing after he was last seen April 18 has been identified as the person whose body was recovered from the Penobscot River over the weekend.
Emergency officials were called to respond to the banks of the river off Main Road in Greenbush around 2 p.m. Sunday after a body was spotted there.
The body was sent to the chief medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
Autopsy results positively identified the person as 47-year-old Jeremy Hill, the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office shared Wednesday in a news release.
Hill's cause of death was not released by the medical examiner's office, and the sheriff's office said the investigation remains active, officials said Wednesday.
The sheriff's office was assisted in the recovery of Hill's body by the Maine Warden Service, Maine State Police, and the Greenbush Fire Department.
Hill was last seen a few weeks ago at his residence on Main Road.
Several agencies assisted in ground and air search operations.
"The Penobscot County Criminal Investigation Division has conducted many investigative tasks and interviews in this time and continues to investigate the disappearance of Hill," the sheriff's office said in its missing person release.
Officials said no further information about the case was being shared at this time.
