Fremont County, Iowa, deputies and the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner have identified a man found dead beneath a bridge in Sidney.

Larry Eugene Burns II, 39, of Lamar, died due to blunt force trauma due to the fall, and hypothermia. His death was initially considered suspicious.

Burns last contacted relatives November 22, and his body was discovered December 11 by deer hunters underneath the Highway 2 bridge, which crosses the Missouri River. Deputies believe Burns was walking along the westbound shoulder of the bridge when he fell.

A critical part of healthy eating is keeping foods safe. Individuals in their own homes can reduce contaminants and keep food safe to eat by following safe food handling practices. Four basic food safety principles work together to reduce the risk of foodborne illness — Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill. These four principles are the cornerstones of Fight BAC!®, a national public education campaign to promote food safety to consumers and educate them on how to handle and prepare food safely.
