The body pulled from the Yukon River Tuesday evening has been identified as that of 27-year-old Curtis Garret Woods of Whitehorse.

In a press release issued Wednesday afternoon, the RCMP confirmed the identity, and noted foul play is not suspected in the man's death.

The Yukon coroner's office has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

The RCMP issued a public notice last week asking for public assistance in locating Woods. He had last been seen April 30 at the Blue Moon Saloon on Second Avenue.

A local resident was in the area along First Avenue across from the Riverview Hotel and noticed the body in the river.
