WYOMING, Mich. — An investigation by the Wyoming Department of Public Safety has ended after the remains of a 66-year-old man from Wyoming were found in Barry County. 

According to police, Darriol Stephens was missing since Dec. 11, 2021, and required medical attention at the time of his disappearance. He was last seen by his roommate leaving his Wyoming residence.

On Sunday, April 3, the search came to an end. His remains were located near the intersection of Finkbeiner Road and Ravine Drive by someone out for a walk, police said.

Stephens' car, a black 2012 Chevy Impala with Michigan registration DSG2228, was also located a short distance away from the body.

Police say there are no obvious indications of foul play or self-harm, but it is believed that Stephens suffered a medical event prior to his death. 

An autopsy has been completed by the Western Michigan School of Medicine Pathology Department and the results are pending.

"Our condolences go out to the family of Mr. Stephens," Captain Timothy Pols wrote in a statement.
