by The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk
Authorities say a man kayaking on a lake in Monmouth County apparently drowned after the kayak capsized.
The body of a Morrisville, Pa., resident was found in a lake at the state's Assunpink Wildlife Management Area today, state police said.
The man, identified by state police as 63-year-old Henry Kosecki, was found in the lake shortly before 10:30 a.m. Friday by two teenagers who were fishing from a boat on the Upper Freehold Township lake.
The teens said the man had been fishing nearby when they first saw him, but when they looked back a short time later, the kayak had overturned and he was in the water. They then used a cell phone to call 911, and state police responded to the scene.
Capt. Al Della Fave, a state police spokesman, said the death does not appear to be suspicious.
