On Wednesday, the sheriff's office was notified that the body of a man in Mattawoman Creek - about two miles away from where his car was found in the water near Slavins Dock in Indian Head - where he was last known to be.
The body has since been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy and determine the person's identity, according to the sheriff's office.
More information is expected to be released.
