LAKE STATION -

State police say investigators are trying to determine the cause of death for a 51-year-old man whose body was found in a water-filled ditch along Interstate 80/94 in northwestern Indiana.

Family members found Ronnie Stanley of Valparaiso off the highway near Lake Station Sunday evening. Police say Stanley was last seen late Friday when he got into an argument while a passenger in a friend's car and he got out of the car near the Lake Station exit.

Police say the friend reported turning around at the next exit to pick Stanley back up, but couldn't find him. Family members began their search after not hearing from him over the weekend.

State police say foul play isn't suspected in the death and an autopsy is planned.
