A 41-year-old Berlin, New Hampshire, man who had been missing since the Fourth of July holiday was found dead Thursday night after a resident searching for him discovered his body along Route 2 in Shelburne, New Hampshire State Troopers announced Friday. 
Berlin police contacted New Hampshire State Police at about 7:30 p.m. 
Thursday, requesting assistance in locating Wesley Grondin, who had last been seen on July 4. 
At about 10:10 p.m., a concerned resident who had been searching for Grondin along Route 2 notified troopers after finding Grondin and the Harley-Davidson motorcycle he had been riding when he was last seen, according to state police. 
A preliminary investigation determined that Grondin had been traveling westbound on Route 2 shortly before midnight on July 4 when, for reasons that remain under investigation, he crossed into the eastbound lane, struck a post, and came to rest in the woods. 
Investigators said there is no indication that another vehicle or person was involved in the crash. 
Members of the Berlin Police Department and the Shelburne Fire Department assisted Troopers at the scene. 
The crash remains under investigation. 
Police asked that anyone with information contact Trooper Hunter Newsham at [email protected] .
