HOWARD COUNTY, Ind. -- Foul play is not suspected in the death of a man who was found dead in a Howard County field Sunday evening. 

Sheriff's deputies were called to the area of 12000 East and 400 South after another man working in the area found an unresponsive man in the field. 

That man was identified as Chad William Broo, 31 of Kokomo. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Broo's cause of death is pending toxicology results, but The Howard County Sheriff's Department says foul play is not suspected at this time. 

Family members had reported Broo missing on March 14 after they had not heard from him for several days. 

Investigators are looking for anyone who may have spoken with Broo over the past week.
