The body found in the Ohio River on Tuesday has been identified as 36-year-old Eric Harmon, of Louisville, Floyd County Coroner Leslie Knable said.
A missing persons report was filed for Harmon on Nov. 1.
“He matches the description of a person believed to have jumped off the [Clark Memorial] Bridge on Oct. 30,” Knable said.
Evidence in the case appears to point to suicide.
A deckhand at the R. Gallagher Generating Station near Jackson Street in New Albany reportedly saw a body in the river just before 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Knable said the body may have floated to the surface after barges in the area were moved.
The family, which is from Georgia, has been notified, Knable said.
