Body found in Lawrence; death ruled suicide by police
Lawrence citizens walking in Prairie Park Nature Preserve found the body of a 53-year-old Overland Park man yesterday afternoon in southeast Lawrence.
Lawrence police Lt. David Cobb said police determined the cause of death was suicide.
The body was found at about 2:30 p.m. yesterday. Lawrence police had roped off the entrance to a walking path near 28th Street Terrace and Harper Street, near where the body was found.
Police do not intend to release any more information about the death, Cobb said.

Wadsworth, Foertsch swap spots, back on ballot
Lord Wads and the 12 Knights of the Crusade are back on the ballot with new presidential and vice-presidential candidates, simply by trading places.
Brett "Lord Wads" Wadsworth. Overland Park senior, will now run as vice president and Andy Foertsch will be the presidential candidate.
The Elections Commission disqualified presidential candidate Wadsworth and his running mate, Faertsch, March 26 because 128 of the mandatory 500 signatures on the ballot were invalid.
Foertsch found a clause in the code, which stated that a coalition can find new candidates if it could get 500 more signatures.
The "new" candidates, Wadsworth and Foertsch, collected more than 600 signatures by 5 p.m. Monday. Courtney Wachal, elections commissioner, validated the signatures and will redo the ballot to include the candidates.
"Lord Wads is good," Wachal said. "He's in the clear."

Sergeant from Wellsville killed by grenade in Iraq
Butler was killed in action Tuesday in Assamawah, Iraq, when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his vehicle, military officials said.
Butler, 24, of Wellsville, was assigned to Headquarters Company. 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, at Fort Riley.
Joe Butler, Jacob's twin brother, said his family was notified by the miliary at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday. Butler's parents, Cindy and James, live in Wellsville, a town about 40 miles southwest of Kansas City, Mo.
WELLSVILLE — Army Sgt. Jacob
"I just know for a fact that he died fighting for our freedom and doing something that he loves to do. That's really all I can tell you at this point in time," Joe Butler said.
He said his brother Jacob joined the Army in 1998. He was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, and later transferred to Fort Riley, Joe Butler said.
According to Fort Riley, Butler had been at the post since Nov. 19, 2001. He was a cavalry scout in his battalion, where his duties included taking point and performing reconnaissance.
Butler, who was single and had no children, was part of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division at Fort Riley.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Staff Sgt. Sheldrick McNeal of Fort Leavenworth said, "The family doesn't want to talk right now and they don't have a statement."
City trying to raise money to boost tourism in wetlands
GREAT BEND — With the help of an $8.5 million visitors center, Great Bend officials think the Cheyenne Bottoms wetlands area could become a major tourist attraction. But first, they have to come up with the money.
Former Gov. Bill Graves authorized a $2.4 million grant for the area before leaving office. City officials think spending even more would help attract thousands of extra visitors.
The state had planned to start building a $2 million center this spring with limited exhibit space, new restrooms and a classroom. Those plans have been halted as leaders consider raising the extra funds to build an $8.5 million center.
