UPDATE: The body of missing Ohio State University football player, Kosta Karageorge, has been found.

Police say a woman and her son were going through a dumpster near East Sixth and Courtland Avenues in Columbus and found a man's body.

Investigators say they confirmed it was Karageorge's body by its tattoos.
   
The OSU football player went missing Wednesday and was last seen at his apartment which is close to where his body was found.


COLUMBUS (AP) -- Media outlets are reporting a body has been found near Ohio State while police are providing no updates on the search for a football player missing since Wednesday.
   
WBNS-TV, WCMH-TV and The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday that police confirm a body has been found. But both police and Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer say they have no updates on the search for defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge.
   
A police report says Karageorge's mother told authorities he has had concussions and spells of confusion. She said he texted a message Wednesday citing the concussions and saying he was sorry if he was "an embarrassment."
   
The Buckeyes defeated Michigan on Saturday, 42-28. Defensive lineman Michael Bennett said afterward that Karageorge missed practices that teammates started getting nervous Thursday.
