MOAB, Utah — A man last seen weeks ago in the Moab area has been found dead.

Jason Patman was last seen alive on Feb. 9, driving a 2005 beige Chevrolet Silverado.

The Grand County Sheriff's Office asked for the public's help to find him on Friday. Then on Saturday, they announced that Patman was found dead around 10:45 a.m. in a remote area of the La Sal Mountains.

The cause of Patman's death is under investigation, but officials said it appears he died from a "motor vehicle accident" with no indication of foul play.

"The Grand County Sheriff's Office extends our deepest condolences to the Patman family during this difficult time," Saturday's press release read. "We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the Bureau of Land Management Rangers, State Rangers, our Search and Rescue team and Deputies, along with the citizens who called in tips and assisted in the search efforts."
