The search for the missing men began around 8:30 a.m., when police said concerned family members reported that neither of them had returned home from kayaking Thursday night.

Police said one man’s body was found along the shoreline off of Bourne Avenue, and the other was located nearby several hours later.

Neither of the men have been identified and it’s unclear if foul play is suspected.
