Missing man's body found

The body of a missing Mantua Township man was discovered Sunday on the bank of the Mantua Creek near Route 45.

No foul play was suspected in the death of Theodore Smith III, 58. His wife reported him missing early Sunday. He was last seen Saturday night leaving the Telford Inn in Mantua, when he told an employee he was going home, police said.

A Deptford Township police officer found the body about a half-mile from Smith's home.

An autopsy was scheduled for Monday. - Michael Boren
