HIGHLANDS : The body found pulled from the water at the Captain?s Cove Marina Friday has been positively identified as that of missing clammer Edward Broderick, 39, of Sea Bright, said State Trooper Jeff Flynn.

According to authorities, Broderick was last heard from around 6 p.m. after he told a friend that his vessel was heading to a clamming facility in Highlands.
OBITUARY: Edward John Broderick Jr.
The friend reported him missing about four hours later, and Broderick?s submerged vessel was found outside the Captain's Cove Marina, where he originally intended to end his trip.
Broderick worked off and on for Capt. Scott Hilliard, owner of the Prowler V, a party boat docked in Atlantic Highlands, who was very fond of him, he said in previous interviews.
"We are really in shock about this. Everyone is saddened," Hilliard said at the time of his disappearance. "I feel horrible for his family. He had a 7-year-old daughter."

Flynn said that while the investigation into Broderick' death remains open, there is no foul play suspected
