Body found in state park identified

ULLIN, Ill. _ Authorities say a body found several days ago in a rural area of a southern Illinois park is that of a 55-year-old Kendall County man.

Illinois State Police say dental records helped confirm the body as Ralph Constantine's.

The Oswego man's remains were found earlier this week in Giant City State Park, a day after his vehicle was found there. His wife had reported him missing a week before his body was found.

State police say foul play is not suspected.

It's not yet clear how Constantine died. State police say a final autopsy report is pending.
