In the late summer of 2023, the community of North Branch, Minnesota, was struck by a somber event involving the death of one of its residents. David Sorn, a 64-year-old Caucasian male, was found deceased on Monday, August 7th. His body was discovered near a tree line bordering a cornfield in a rural part of the area. This discovery brought a sad conclusion to a search that had begun days earlier.
Sorn had been reported missing on August 3rd, having last been seen on August 2nd in the
same vicinity where his body was ultimately found. At the time of his disappearance, it was believed he had a handgun in his possession. Concerns for his well-being were heightened as law enforcement described him as a vulnerable adult with existing medical conditions.
When authorities were led to the scene by an individual who had found the body, they discovered Sorn with a firearm located next to him. The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office later formally identified the deceased as David Sorn. While the investigation into the specific circumstances of his death continued, officials from the Isanti County Sheriff's Office stated that they did not suspect any foul play was involved in his passing. As a result, there have been no reports of any arrests or suspects in connection with this case.
