LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- A central Kentucky coroner says a man found dead over the weekend likely fell from a cliff.

The body of 26-year-old Jeffrey Shivel was discovered Saturday near the Dix River in Rockcastle County.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Tuesday that county Coroner Billy Dowell found Shivel's body had sustained trauma consistent with a fall from a considerable height. Dowell said an investigation continues and foul play had not been ruled out.

Shivel's body was found Saturday by a WKYT-TV photographer who was recording the search for Shivel, who had not been seen since Superbowl weekend.
