BASIN, Wyo. (AP) - The body of a 39-year-old Greybull man who drowned while boating on the Big Horn River in northern Wyoming last May has been found.

Capt. Blaine Jolley of the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office says the body of Bobby Brinkerhoff was found Oct. 3 by some hunters south of Lovell on a small island in the middle of the river channel.

The location is about 40 miles from where Brinkerhoff had been thrown from a flat-bottom boat on May 31 when it flipped on a submerged tree branch.
