Earlier in the day Thursday, investigators released information announcing they were looking for Nguyen, after his “actions and extended absence caused (his) family members concern,” according to a news release from police.

Foul play isn’t suspected in Nguyen’s death, but the investigation continues. The Melbourne Police Department’s criminal investigations division is looking for witnesses from the day Nguyen was reported as missing.

Nguyen’s body was found about 11:30 a.m. Monday.
