Ottawa man’s body found at Pomona Lake

The Osage County Sheriff’s Office has identified a body found Monday evening near Pomona Lake as Derrick C. Heidt, 22, of Ottawa.

Heidt’s body was found after someone called the sheriff and reported seeing a body across from the lake’s marina.

Sheriff’s deputies and officials from the Army Corps of Engineers found Heidt, and the Shawnee County Coroner’s Office performed an autopsy.

Initial tests listed Heidt’s cause of death as accidental with no indication of foul play, but the department said the investigation continues.
