After a two-and-a-half-year investigation, Windham police has closed its investigation of a body that was found off Webb Road in 2009 and deemed a suicide.

According to a press release issued late Thursday, authorities were able to identify the body after investigation by the Maine State Police Crime Lab. The body, identified through the process of DNA analysis and comparison, is that of Kevin O’Brien, 29, of West Chester, Penn.

The crime lab issued its findings to Windham police March 9. Since then, Windham police had been in contact with the West Chester Police Department and a member of O’Brien’s family investigating the details of O’Brien’s initial disappearance and how they may have played a part in his death in Maine. As a result of that investigation, the initial ruling of suicide was confirmed.

Both the Windham police and medical examiner have closed their involvement in the case.
