EAST TROY — Search teams found the body of a 40-year-old disabled man Saturday, three days after he was reported missing.

Kyle Stevens was last seen at 10:20 p.m. Thursday, at his home in the Miramar subdivision, near Potters Lake. He had autism.

Stevens’ body was found near Spleas Skoney Road, not far from his home. No foul play is suspected. An autopsy will be performed by the Walworth County Coroner’s Office.

His was the second body found in Walworth County last week.

Blair Cassell’s body was found in the Kettle Moraine State Forest Thursday. Cassell, the girls’ tennis coach at Catholic Central High School in Burlington, had been missing since Monday. Police believe Cassell committed suicide.
