No foul play found in death of Powell man

POWELL (AP) — The Park County Sheriff’s Office says a 61-year-old Powell Tribune reporter whose body was found over the weekend in northern Wyoming died of hypothermia.

Gibson “Gib” Mathers, of Powell, was found Saturday by a local man riding a horse in the area about 2 miles south of U.S. Highway 14/16/20.

Mathers had been missing since Jan. 31.

The Powell Tribune reports that investigators found no evidence of foul play, no apparent injuries and no predation on the body.
