Mich. authorities await autopsy results for ex-QB

DETROIT (AP) — A three-day search for one of the winningest college quarterbacks ever ended in a remote wooded area in Michigan, where authorities found his body and were left with a mystery of how he died.

Authorities were hoping autopsy results expected to be released later this afternoon would provide some much-needed answers regarding the untimely passing of Cullen Finnerty.

The former Grand Valley State University quarterback went missing Sunday while fishing near his family's cottage. Finnerty's body was found in Webber Township, about a mile from where he disappeared, but authorities said no foul play was suspected.

Finnerty, 30, led Grand Valley State University to three Division II national titles and more than 50 wins during his four years as a starter in Allendale, Mich., last decade. His body was found about 8 p.m. Tuesday in woods within a mile of where he disappeared, said Lake County Undersheriff Dennis Robinson.

Robinson said the body was not in the water and was found in a wooded area in near the family's cottage.

The search drew scores of police and volunteers, including staff and players from Grand Valley State.
