The Madison County Coroner tells LEX 18 that a body recovered from a Madison County creek is that of a man at the center of a Golden Alert.

Investigators say a man made the shocking discovery late Saturday afternoon along Duck Branch Road in Madison County.

What the man found was a dark gray Toyota car in a creek, with man dead inside. At the time the discovery was made, county officials said water levels were high, making the recovery mission risky. As night fell the decision was made to hold off on the recovery efforts. Law enforcement parked nearby overnight to preserve the scene.
