DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Dallas police have identified the body of a man that was found in Lake Ray Hubbard on Wednesday.

Police say they found the victim floating near Bayview Marina yesterday, and say it's likely the body of Anthony Yaegar.

Officer Juan Fernandez says there were a few things that made them fairly certain of the identity because the victims "wallet, cell phone and a prescription bottle" were found in his pocket.

Yaegar had been missing since Sunday when he was last seen fishing on the marina at about 1:00 am. Witnesses say he seemed intoxicated at the time.

Fernandez says they'd gotten a call from Yaegar's roommate after he hadn't turned up for several days.

According to police, there weren't any signs of injury on the body and the cause of death is still pending a report from the medical examiner.
