WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) -- The Wood County coroner says probable drowning and hypothermia caused the death of a man missing for two months.

The body of Greg Senn was found in Lake Wazeecha on March 13th. The 29-year-old was last seen in Grand Rapids Jan. 14. Officials believe he may have taken a short cut across the lake while walking to his home in Wisconsin Rapids.

Coroner Gerry Kronstedt says Senn's blood alcohol content was .2, but could have been inflated because he was in the water.
