Detectives were called to a riverbed near Fashion Valley Tuesday after the body a missing Chula Vista man was discovered.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the body was found in the San Diego River Tuesday morning.
A homicide lieutenant said police were working with Chula Vista police to find a man missing since Saturday.
Detectives developed information that 41-year-old Robert Chesney Junior may have been in the area near the San Diego River Monday night. They began searching for him then, but called off the search when it got dark.
Over the weekend, Chesney's family was working with police to find the man. He was dropped off at the UCSD Medical Center Saturday afternoon, but left on foot.
He was described as having diminished mental capacity and a seizure disorder, and his family was concerned he wasn't on his medication.
When officers began searching again Tuesday morning, they found a body and identified it as Chesney. His family has been notified.
"We don't suspect the person was a victim of a violent crime right now," said Lt. Jorge Duran with the SDPD. "Once the ME indicates what the cause of death, that may change our investigation to something else other than just a death investigation."
