LOPATCONG, N.J. (AP) - State police say a body found in the Delaware River is that of a New York man who went missing while tubing with friends.
Authorities say divers found the body of 22-year-old Christopher Lawrence on Sunday.
The Brooklyn resident had vanished after he fell off a tube around 5 p.m. Saturday. The incident occurred in the area of Lopatcong and Harmony townships in northwestern New Jersey.
A search began a short time later, but was suspended later Saturday due to darkness and visibility issues.
A formal identification of the body will be made by the medical examiner’s office.
