Body found in Woonasquatucket was missing man's

PROVIDENCE -- Police today released the identity of the body discovered in the Woonasquatucket River early this week.

Maj. Stephen Cambell said the man is Victor Solis, a 46-year-old disabled man who had been missing for more than six months. He lived about six blocks away from where he was discovered Monday behind Riverside Mills in Olneyville.

Solis' family and friends had been searching for him since he disappeared last November.

Cambell said no foul play is suspected in Solis' death. A preliminary report from the medical examiner's office determined the cause of death was drowning.
