Robert Sedarat

The Knox County Sheriff's Office Tracking Team found the body of a South Knox County man in a creek near his house late Monday afternoon.  Seventy-four year old Robert Sedarat was reported missing earlier on Monday by a woman who rents a room in his house at 3104 Maloney Road. She had last seen Sedarat at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The Tracking Team, K-9s, and helicopter searched the area around Maloney Road for several hours before discovering the body.  The Medical Examiner's Office is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.  KCSO Detectives say foul play is not a factor.
