The body was found on land near the tideline. But a preliminary investigation shows that Jones had been in the water at one point.

There were no signs of physical trauma to Jones’ body, the release says, and the cause of death is unknown.

Alaska Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy and determine cause of death.
