Payan was seen leaving his home on foot after detectives were able to access his password-protected security system, authorities said on Tuesday. A search of the area, which included the use of police dogs and drones, yielded no results.

The Jackson County Dive Team found Payan after it cut holes into the surface of a frozen pond on his property to search the water. An autopsy is being conducted by the Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office.

“Detectives believe Dr. Payan would have been deceased prior to when he was reported missing, due to the weather conditions on the day that he left his residence and the fact that he was in the water,” Blackman-Leoni Public Safety said.

Michigan was among a large swath of states that was hit by a winter storm that brought freezing temperatures, high winds and heavy precipitation.
