Police: Body found in SE Minnesota is missing Rochester man

Authorities in southeastern Minnesota have found the body of a 21-year-old Rochester man who was reported missing in late March.

Olmsted County deputies say William "Harry" Hempy's body was found Sunday evening just north of the Rochester city limits. They do not suspect foul play.

Local anglers discovered the body in a pond near a former rock quarry, Olmsted County Sheriff Kevin Torgerson said.

Hempy was last heard from on March 25 when he used his cell phone to call his father. The University of Illinois student was in Rochester for spring break when he went missing.
