DONIPHAN COUNTY– The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the death of a man that occurred in rural Doniphan County.
Just after 9:45 a.m. August, the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a citizen who reported finding a body in the creek on his land, according to a media release from the KBI.
When deputies responded to the location, which was South of Troy, Kan., in a tributary of Rock Creek, they found a deceased male later identified as Darren A. Blandin, 55, of Horton, Kan. It is unknown how long he had been in the Creek.
An autopsy was conducted on Friday, Aug. 14. At this time, foul play is not suspected, but a full death investigation is being conducted as investigators wish to retrace Blandin’s final weeks.
