The search for a missing La Crosse area man has officially ended, with confirmation that his body was discovered in Onalaska last month.

Tyler Henry had not been heard from since early September, and on April 25th, his remains were found close to where he was seen last, around Sand Lake Road and Highway 53.

Police in Onalaska have worked with the Henry family since fall, to try and find him.

A final autopsy report is not done yet, but early findings do not reveal any signs of foul play in Henry’s death.

Two people picking up trash along Highway 53 on a Sunday morning discovered the remains close to the road.
