Jasper County, Missouri deputies respond to a call of a deceased man found in a river.

A truck driver was driving over the Spring River bridge on I-49, just north of Carthage, when he spotted the individual in the water. Initial reports indicate the deceased male may have jumped off the bridge.

 An autopsy is scheduled; the name of the individual has not been released, pending further investigation by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office, the Carthage Police Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
