An Oklahoma man’s body was found in a “heavily wooded area” over a week after authorities located his truck at a golf course.
Tulsa Police Department Captain Richard G. Meulenberg IV tells PEOPLE that Christopher Coulston went missing on Sept. 3, and was last seen on a surveillance camera the following day. On Sept. 4, authorities also found his truck parked on the north side of Mohawk Golf Course.”
In an un update on Sept 13, the department announced that they had recovered Coulston’s body following a thorough search.
“He was located more than a mile and a half northeast from where we previously found his truck, and he was about 50 yards from the bank of Bird Creek in a heavily wooded area,” the department added.
His cause of death is unclear. Tulsa Police noted the medical examiner’s office will determine his cause of death.
When reached for comment on Tuesday, Sept. 17, police said they did not have any additional information to share.
The Mohawk Golf Course did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
When the search for Coulston was still underway, his daughter Brandy posted on Facebook on Sept. 6 that while she had “no idea” why her dad drove to the golf course, “we believe he drove himself as there is a steering wheel lock on his steering wheel.”
