Depending on how long he was in the river, he could have drifted a long way down river. Even the Ohio, Missouri and Illinois rivers join the Mississippi upstream from where he was found.

He was wearing boots and pants that would be worn for work, did he fall off or a barge or have a work accident on the river?
