FINNS POINT, Del. (AP) - A body has washed ashore along the Delaware River, and state police are investigating.

The body was discovered Tuesday night along Finns Point, an area along the eastern shore of the river near the New Jersey border.

An autopsy is being done to determine the person's identity and cause of manner and death.

N.J.News.com reports that investigators are trying to determine if the body may be that of Joshua Catlett, 23, who went missing when his fishing boat sank in the Delaware Bay April 4.
