Worland Man Found Dead; No Foul Play Suspected

A Worland man who left on a hunting trip and did not return as scheduled last weekend has been found dead.

The Washakie County Sheriff's Office says the body of 51-year-old Richard Rush was found Friday morning. He had evidently been involved in an ATV crash.

Authorities say foul play is not suspected in Rush's death. The sheriff's office will not release further information until an autopsy has been completed.

The sheriff's office previously said Rush had been staying at his hunting camp located two miles north of Big Trails and 18 miles south of Ten Sleep.

Rush left Worland on Friday, Sept. 7, and had been set to return on Sunday, Sept. 9. However, he did not return as scheduled, prompting a search.
