PRINCETON, Ill. — The body of a man found dead in Princeton in July has been identified.
On July 11, law enforcement was dispatched to the 800 block of West Peru Street after receiving a report of a deceased person. A man’s body was found inside the location. Due to the body’s condition, an immediate identification was not possible. 
After the body was recovered, it was sent to the Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Sciences for DNA analysis. The lab sent a report to local authorities on Nov. 21, positively identifying the body as 27-year-old Austin Rossler of Princeton.
An autopsy was performed on July 14 at the McLean County Coroner’s Office in Bloomington. Authorities said the results showed no evidence of foul play. No signs of trauma were found. 
“The coroner’s office would like to thank the Princeton Police Department, Princeton Fire Department and Illinois State Police for their assistance in this investigation,” Bureau County Coroner Kurt Workman said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to Austin’s family and friends.”
