ST. LOUIS — A man is in critical condition at an area hospital after he was found on the shore of River Des Peres near the border between St. Louis and St. Louis County Thursday morning.
According to Chief Chris Amenn with the Shrewsbury Fire Department, the man was found washed up on the shore near the intersection of Mardel and Wabash avenues. Firefighters with the Maplewood, Shrewsbury and St. Louis fire departments helped pull the man from the shore and get him into an ambulance.
He was rushed to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Amenn said the man had been reported missing out of Brentwood. He said he believes the man was pulled into the river by flooding earlier this week.
The Brentwood police department identified him as Larry "Rob" Hanselman. Before being found Thursday, Hanselman was last seen at around 11 a.m. Tuesday near his apartment on the 8700 block of Manchester Road, which is about four miles from where he was found.
