A man who's body was found in a wooded area of Chetek, may have been building a shelter in the woods.

Barron County Sheriff, Chris Fitzgerald, says deputies found the shelter near where Joseph Moen, 49, was found dead. The shelter was made of branches and leaves. The sheriff says Moen was also only wearing a t-shirt and jeans when he was found, despite the frigid temperatures.

Moen was last seen December 24 and was reported missing December 27. His body was discovered when deputies were following up on the missing person case.

The sheriff says the initial cause of death appears to be hypothermia.

No foul play is suspected.
