FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Authorities say a body found in Rocky Mountain National Park matches the description of a missing Texas man.

Larimer County coroner's investigator James MacNaughton says the autopsy will be performed Thursday. Authorities initially said the procedure would be done Wednesday.

Thirty-nine-year-old Troy Green of San Antonio was reported missing after he traveled to Colorado for a conference.

His wife called Denver police when she didn't hear from him on Feb. 7. His rental car was found a day later in the parking lot at the popular Bear Lake trailhead in the national park, about 65 miles northwest of Denver.

Park officials say two people found the body Tuesday in a heavily forested area about 100 feet from a summer hiking trail in the Bear Lake area.
