CORPUS CHRISTI - A man, found floating in the Nueces River, has been identified as 58-year-old Bobby Glenn Cooper.

Cooper's body was found by fishermen last Friday in Labonte Park. Authorities say he had keys in his pocket, but no identification. The man's 1992 Nissan truck was pulled from the river the next day.

The medical examiner says there are no obvious signs of trauma on the body, so the cause of death will have to wait until the results of toxicology testing come back.

Police don't suspect foul play as they believe Cooper may have experienced a medical issue. However, it is unclear how his truck ended up in the river.
