Authorities Recover Body Of Missing Boater In East Brunswick

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- An autopsy was planned for the body of a California man who disappeared while fishing on a New Jersey lake.

Henry Cho of Chatsworth, California, was visiting relatives in East Brunswick when he borrowed a canoe to go fishing on Farrington Lake on Saturday.

Police Sgt. Kevin Zebro told The Star-Ledger of Newark a family member spotted an object that looked like a body floating in the lake on Wednesday night.

A large air, land and water search earlier in the week failed to uncover anything.
