TAMPA, Fla. — The body of a man missing since late April, when he was last seen in Ybor City, has been identified.
The Tampa Police Department said Thursday that John Larson's body was found inside an enclosed area of a commercial business parking lot on South 20th Street.
There were no signs of foul play, police said.
April 26 was the last day anyone saw or heard from Larson, who arrived in Ybor City to meet a friend at a bar at around 11:30 pm. Police say he never made it to the bar.
His sister says surveillance footage confirms his last known location.
"This is not the outcome we hoped for as we searched for John," said Chief Mary O'Connor. "Our thoughts are with his family during this time of grieving, and I have made our Police Chaplains available for any assistance they may need."
In a news release, police said this remains an active investigation with full toxicology results pending.
