Brothersofall reportedly got caught in the current Sept. 15 while swimming in the river with friends and was carried away.
For the past week law enforcement from a number of agencies had been conducting ground and air searches and were stationed along the riverbank and bridges of the river, which had high water levels and fast currents because of recent heavy rains.
In a press release, the Redwood Falls Police Department said the body is believed to be that of Brothersofall, however an autopsy was ordered by the Redwood County Coroner to confirm the identity.
