The decomposing body was spotted about noon near the Lake Canyon area of Lake Powell, according to the San Juan County Sheriff's office. There are no signs of foul play. The Utah Medical Examiner's Office has been tasked with identifying the body, whom deputies and National Park Service rangers believe to be Donald Simmons of Calhan, Colo. Simmons and his wife, Mary, were killed while they were fishing Sept. 28, 2007, when a 250-square-foot slab of rock fell from an alcove onto their boat, capsizing it.
