ANNISTON -- An East Prairie man who had been missing since Tuesday was found lying dead in a ditch Saturday afternoon.
According to Mississippi County Coroner Terry Parker, David Bruce "Butch" Wilson, 51, was riding his four-wheeler on April 22, south of Anniston on Mississippi County Road 334, and evidently flipped the four-wheeler into a ditch.
Wilson's body reportedly was found by a relative.
Although Wilson was pronounced dead by Parker on Saturday, it appears Wilson died instantly Tuesday of a broken neck injury, Parker said.
Shelby Funeral Home of East Prairie is in charge of funeral arrangements.
