COVERT TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- One mystery has given way to another in the death of a Covert man. They have now verified and corrected the identity of the man, who was found dead, in an advanced state of decomposition in a drainage ditch in a blueberry field off 72^nd St. in Van Buren County. He was initially identified as Ivory Shaver Jr. of Covert.

They have now used fingerprints to verify his I.D. and say its Ivory Shaver the 3^rd.  A family member recognized a broadcast description of his tattoo. The fingerprints make it official.  A task force will form on Monday to go over tips and other information. Toxicology test results are still a few weeks away.
