AMMAN — Police on Sunday said a 22-year-old man who was reported missing by his family on Saturday, was found dead in the Jordan Valley.

The young man's family reported him missing in Northern Shuneh, and several search teams were dispatched in the area to look for him, Public Security Department Spokesperson Lt. Col. Amer Sartawi said.

“One of our teams found him in a steep area in a valley on Saturday but he was dead. Most probably he fell,” Sartawi told The Jordan Times.

The official ruled out foul play for the time being.

“Judging from the initial examination of the body by the coroners, it does not seem that the young man was murdered,” Sartawi said, adding that “the body was sent to the National Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy.”

He said police were investigating the incident.
