A man&#8217;s body was found inside the location. Due to the body&#8217;s condition, an immediate identification was not possible.&nbsp;<br \/>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.<br \/>An autopsy was performed on July 14 at the McLean County Coroner\u2019s Office in Bloomington. Authorities said the results showed no evidence of foul play. No signs of trauma were found.&nbsp;<br \/>&#8220;The coroner\u2019s office would like to thank the Princeton Police Department, Princeton Fire Department and Illinois State Police for their assistance in this investigation,&#8221; Bureau County Coroner Kurt Workman said in a statement. &#8220;Our thoughts and prayers go out to Austin\u2019s family and friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMi4wFBVV95cUxQYkw1YmlYdDFFWVYxei16eHpJRVdSaUwzSlEtNUlKNm9rQmhIc3gtd1NmeFVzaW5BTGxlMEJPNGt0M2JnWDMwcEthY1Q0Zks5bS1lTzVMSFJ1Ti0zSHpWQVd1RjNDNTc0XzlEZ21zRkY4M2xRYzNSbTBVZmkzdmRHODBzQld3dHJfNWJmMjQ4cy00anJnRXRLMlVSWERPNjhRY3h3U3cwNF9JVDYzYUdsTWx5S0I1S1VYV1QxMmpPQkM3VVZ2ZFlKc3JyeU9rVDU4QTBXUWZhaDctNTYtaDR1MU1wWQ?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To stream News 8 on your phone, you need the News 8 app.Next up in 5Example video title will go here for this videoNext up in 5Example video title will go here for this video PRINCETON, Ill. \u2014 The body of a man found dead in Princeton in July has been identified.On July 11, law enforcement was dispatched to the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princetonillinois.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
