Police found Goulet's body in the river on Oct. 23 after he was apparently swept down a storm drain during a heavy rain the Friday before. He was reported missing on Oct. 22, after he left a friend's house to walk home but never arrived.

According to the Nashua Fire Department, water pressure from the rain may have forced the storm drain cover open. Some of Goulet's personal items were recovered near the drain, and surveillance video showed him nearby.

Police are still waiting on autopsy results and have no further information at this time.
