The man found dead along the Cannonball River on Sunday was 35-year-old Damjan Nedelkovski, of Glendale, Calif., law enforcement announced Monday afternoon.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said no foul play is suspected in the death just north of the former Dakota Access Pipeline protest camps. A formal cause of death is pending, but the medical examiner found no sign of trauma on his body, Kirchmeier said.
Police identified the man by a Republic of Macedonia ID card located on his person.
But it is still unclear when the man died. Law enforcement said it could have been any time from Oct. 29 to Sunday.
The Macedonian native and political science major was last heard from by friends and family on Oct. 29.
The day before, he was stopped for speeding in South Dakota, according to police. There, he told police he was headed to the pipeline protest camps.
His stepbrother, who lives in Macedonia, filed a missing person report with the Glendale Police Department on Nov. 16.
A vehicle he rented and drove to North Dakota was located and impounded from the Oceti Sakowin camp, when it was cleared on Feb. 23.
Police undertook a major search for a potential drowned body near the protest camps on Oct. 30. They came up empty at the time. Kirchmeier said that, due to the condition of the body and information from the Bureau of Indian Affairs that no one had drowned, he did not think this was connected.
Kirchmeier speculated that the man may have fallen through thin ice when the weather warmed. He was dressed in a T-shirt and blue jeans when he was found.[/quote]

Can't wait for the oil companies to overlook this detail.
