IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) -- Authorities in southeastern Idaho say a body found in a rugged area of Clark County is believed to be a man who was reported missing last week.

The Post Register reports the man has been missing since Thursday after he apparently went into the Rock Creek drainage area to cut firewood and didn't return home. The Clark County sheriff's office says the man appears to have died of natural causes.

The body was found Sunday.

Authorities say the man's name will be released after his family has been notified.
