The body of a missing Paris man was found Thursday afternoon in Weakley County.

According to KYTN, the Weakley County Sheriff’s Department says the body of 50-year-old David Shipton, Jr. was found shortly after noon, near Highway 89 between Dresden and Sharon.

A Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter discovered a wrecked motorcycle in a deep ditch, and Shipton’s body was found at the scene.

The Weakley County Sheriff’s Office had asked for the helicopter’s assistance after cell phone records showed the last time the victim’s cell phone signal hit a tower was southwest of Dresden.

The accident is thought to have happened sometime early Saturday morning.
