Missing Boater's Body Found in Barnegat Bay

The body of missing boater has been found in Barnegat Bay.
    
A helicopter crew from the Coast Guard Air Station in Atlantic City found 52-year-old Ken Madsen early Saturday night, in waters near Oyster Creek off Barnegat.
    
A boat crew from the Coast Guard Station in Barnegat Light than pulled him from the water, but authorities say Madsen was unresponsive.
    
Madsen, whose hometown was not immediately available, had been reported missing by state police at about 4:05 p.m. They had stopped his boat earlier in the day for an undisclosed reason, and it was later found aground with the engine running, north of the Barnegat Inlet buoy near Waretown.
    
It was not immediately known what type of boat Madsen had been using or how he ended up in the water.
