Asheville Police and Fire-Rescue crews recovered the body of 39-year-old Anthony Sawyer Tuesday afternoon, in the French Broad River, near Carrier Park. The West Asheville resident was reported missing by his wife Monday, but had not been seen since Friday night. Sawyer's body was spotted by a passerby, who called 9-1-1. Police say their initial investigation indicates there are no obvious signs of foul play involved in his death. An autopsy will be performed sometime later in the week.
