FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A body found in the Cache la Poudre (kash-luh-POO'-der) River north of Denver, Colo., has been identified as that of a Hawaii man who disappeared last week when he crashed his motorcycle into the river. The Larimer County sheriff's office says the man is 63-year-old Dennis M. Schultz of Hawaii. Schultz's body was found Saturday about a mile downriver from where witnesses reported seeing him crash Wednesday and go under a guardrail and into the river. The cause of death was ruled blunt force trauma, an accident. (Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved)
