The body of a 22-year-old Chico State student was found floating in the Sacramento River in California on Thursday morning, nine days after he went missing during an outing with friends, according to reports.

Anthony William Mahr, of Roseville, a senior at the university, was last seen Aug. 20 and his body was seen in the water near a boat landing in Chico around 9:20 a.m. Thursday, Sacramento’s KCRA-TV reported.

Responding officers recovered the body about an hour later, the Sacramento Bee reported.
