The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office has tentatively identified the man found in the ditch off of River Road North of Council Bluffs, Tuesday, as 52-year old Albert J. Giramonti, of rural Crescent. Giramonti had been reported missing by his wife on Sunday July 26, 2015 at 4:41 p.m.  Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said it appears Giramonti tried to take the curve on the gravel road too fast, lost control and left the roadway, landing in ditch of high grass.

His body was discovered next to his 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle, by a County Engineer employee who was mowing in the area. Giramonti’s body will be transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny Iowa for an autopsy. The matter remains under investigation.
