Body of missing Alger County man found

AUTRAIN TOWNSHIP, MI--   It’s a sad ending for a missing Alger County man.  

John Hongisto, 69, of Christmas was reported missing last Wednesday.  His body was discovered Friday near Buckbay Road and M-94 in AuTrain Township.  Hongisto’s truck was found several hours earlier. 

Officials say it appears Hongisto was walking to a nearby berry patch when he suffered a medical event.  There were no signs of foul play.
