MINOT, N.D. — Minot police say they have found no sign of a crime in the death of a Minot Air Force Base missile crew commander, but area waiting more test results.

The body of Capt. Jonathan Bayless was found late Friday in a field north of Minot. Police Lt. Dan Strandberg says authorities were called after a resident spotted something in the field near his home.

Police Capt. Al Hanson said an autopsy was performed Monday in Bismarck. He said authorities found nothing unusual but they are still awaiting a toxicology test, which could take up to two weeks.

Bayless is reported to have lived in the area near where his body was found.

He had been stationed at the Minot base since March 2005, and was a training chief with the 91st Operations Support Squadron.
