GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids police have identified the man whose body was pulled from the Grand River last week, but they still don’t know how he died or how long he was in the water.
The Grand Rapids Police Department said on Monday that the victim was Jamel Parker, who had been missing for more than a month. Police said an autopsy did not find any obvious signs of trauma.
