ST. IGNACE, Mich. — Authorities have confirmed the identity of a body found last week in Lake Huron in northern Michigan.

Ronald Dague, a Milwaukee-area prosecutor, died in a plane crash on Aug. 31. The Mackinac County sheriff says dental records helped confirm the identity.

The 64-year-old Dague was an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee County for 26 years.

He was the only person aboard a single-engine plane that crashed after departing St. Ignace for Mackinac Island.
