The 69-year-old Chehalis man who went missing March 6 was found dead in his vehicle Tuesday at the base of the Chehalis River bridge on state Route 6 near Interstate 5 in Chehalis.

The Lewis County Coroner’s Office confirmed Wednesday that the body found Tuesday has been positively-identified as John Sill, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

A Washington State Patrol investigation determined Sill was driving eastbound on state Route 6 when his vehicle drifted over the centerline into the westbound lane and then went off the north side of the roadway. The vehicle then traveled into a ditch, crashed into a tree and continued down the embankment, coming to rest under the Chehalis River bridge.
