STILLWATER, Minn. (AP) - Stillwater police have released the name of a 65-year-old man who died last week when his car plunged over river bluffs and crashed near Brown's Creek State Trail.

Police Capt. Nate Meredith says John Scheel of Stillwater died in the accident.

The crash happened about noon Dec. 28 after Scheel apparently drove off a dead-end road

Scheel's name was not released until Monday because police were waiting to notify his relatives. He did not have any next of kin in Minnesota.

No one else was in the car.
