Name of man found floating in Kentucky River in Franklin County is released
The Franklin County coroner has released the name of a man who was found floating in the Kentucky River on Saturday.
Randy Hall Jordan, 56, was discovered by boaters around 12:10 p.m. Saturday near the mouth of Benson Creek, said Franklin County Coroner William Harrod.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
No foul play is suspected, Harrod said.
Harrod said in a news release Tuesday that he was asking for the public’s assistance in finding Jordan’s family.
He said Jordan’s most recent known address was the Men’s Access Shelter on West Second Street in Frankfort, but he believes Jordan may have previously lived in the Fulton County, Ga., area.
Jordan was 5 feet 3 inches tall and had blue eyes. Anyone with information about him is asked to call the coroner’s office at (502)875-8582 or visit Franklincountycoronerky.com.
