Authorities say a 33-year-old man who was reported missing last month has been found dead following an apparent motorcycle crash in West Michigan.

The Muskegon Chronicle reports a person spotted the body of Ross Andrew Conkle of Walkerville on Saturday in Newfield Township with a motorcycle nearby.

Conkle was reported missing Sept. 25 after family hadn't seen him since Sept. 18.

The Oceana County sheriff's department says it appears Conkle went off the road and hit several trees.

It wasn't immediately clear how long his body might have been in the wooded area about 45 miles northwest of Grand Rapids before it was discovered.
