However, Carlin stressed that police have not yet identified the body discovered in Lake Charles in Porter, Ind. around 7:10 a.m. and that his statements only reflect his beliefs.

The Sheriff’s office has released a statement acknowledging a body was discovered but they have not confirmed it was Dr. Patrick.
