Arkansas man found dead in pond near home

A White County man was found dead in a pond near his home Wednesday after authorities searched his property because he hadn't been heard from.

The White County sheriff's office said the search for 49-year-old Gary Williams began Tuesday when his employer alerted investigators that he hadn't shown up to work "in a couple days," the agency said in a news release.

Police searched the home and property on Sandy Ford Road near Beebe. A dive team began searching the pond Tuesday and continued the effort Wednesday, when Williams' body was found in the water, authorities said.

Williams' cause and manner of death isn't yet known. His body was sent to the Arkansas Crime Lab for an autopsy.
