The Grants Pass Daily Courier reported Saturday the body of 38-year-old Kelly Nutting was found near the port town of Golfito, wrapped in a sheet and tied to concrete with his hands behind his back, possibly strangled.
The newspaper said Nutting was a student at Hidden Valley High School in Grants Pass and a Navy veteran who had been running the Hotel Delfina, which he bought from his parents.
His parents, two brothers and other relatives still live in Southern Oregon.
Family members said the death was under investigation but they knew few details.
