Indiana Conservation officers report that the body of a missing kayaker was found, about 100 yards from where his kayak was located earlier today.

Keygan Matlock’s body was found at about 4 p.m. today, according to authorities. They had been searching for his body since Thursday morning.

Officers say that the kayak was found between Tannehill Bridge and Lowell Bridge on the Driftwood River.

The 26-year-old Matlock told friends and family Wednesday that he planned to go kayaking in either the Flat Rock or Driftwood Rivers and hasn’t been heard from since.

He was last known to be in the Tannehill Trailer Park area and is believed to be wearing a bright yellow coat with a black and yellow stocking cap.
