Prelim autopsy: Worland man drowned

Authorities say no foul play is suspected in the death of a 91-year-old man whose body was found in Worland last week. George Sumida, of Worland, was reported missing on Sept. 8 and his body was found in a canal last Wednesday. Washakie County Coroner Jeff Lapp says the preliminary autopsy lists the cause of death as drowning. Lapp says that Sumida was a World War II veteran who suffered flashbacks during thunderstorms. There were storms in the area on the night Sumida went missing.
