The Fremont County Sheriff's Office says they have found the body of a man with Down's Syndrome missing now more than three weeks.

The Sheriff's office made the announcement Friday afternoon. The body of 52-year-old Albert Nelson was found just before noon Friday in a canal near St. Anthony. It was not in the canal searchers had already drained during their initial search for Nelson.

Right now investigators do not suspect foul play in Nelson's death but there is still an active investigation to found out how he died. Nelson's parents are already dead.

Nelson disappeared the morning of August 12th from his group home in St. Anthony.  Nelson checked in to the night before but was not in his room when employees checked on him the following day.

About a week after his disappearance many gathered for a candlelight vigil.
