NEWPORT — A body was found floating in a pond near where a Newport area monk was reported missing.
Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office dispatch said the agency received a call Wednesday from Sravasti Abbey, saying a monastic resident had seen a body floating in a nearby pond.
When sheriff's office investigators were taken to the scene, the body of a deceased male was found, partially submerged in the frigid water. Abbey residents reported the pond had been frozen over with ice and recently thawed, POCSO officials said.
