DELTA and MONTROSE COUNTIES, COLO. (KKCO) - The Montrose County Coroner has positively identified human remains found in a canal Monday afternoon.

The Coroner says the body is that of 52-year-old Abe Martinez. His family has been notified.

Officials with the Montrose County Sheriff's Office say the body was found Monday afternoon in a dried out section of the FJ Lateral Canal. The remains were found by a ditch rider who was inspecting canals and preparing for spring runoff.

Martinez was last seen in Aug. 2009 near the area.
