A 21-year-old man whose body was discovered early Saturday by hunters died from hypothermia and exposure, according to preliminary reports.
Timothy Wimer Jr., 21, died early Saturday, after his vehicle went off the road and into a body of water on Nelson County Road 8, northwest of Michigan, N.D., according to Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke.
Wimer left the vehicle after the accident. The partially submerged vehicle was discovered by hunters Saturday morning. The young man's body was found less than a mile away a short time later, Janke said.
