The Wyoming County Sheriff says a man discovered dead Friday in a swimming pool at a vacant house in Matheny was apparently murdered.
He carried the identification of Chester Stewart, 49, Matheny who was reported missing last fall.
The body, however, has not been positively identified.
The state medical examiner is trying to do that now as well as determine the cause of death.
The sheriff says it appears that the man did not drown.
