Body Found in Water at Clinton Harbor

Clinton police are trying to identify the body they pulled from the harbor on Long Island Sound early Thursday.

A boater called to report the body around 9:30 a.m. Thursday, police said. Police and fire officials arrived to find the body about half a mile south of the Clinton channel.

Officials moved the body to the town marina on Riverside Drive. The state medical examiner's office moved the body to Farmington and is working to identify it and determine the cause of death.

Police said they believed the body to be that of a white middle-aged man and that they do not suspect foul play. The body appeared to have been in the water for a few days to a week, according to police.

State EnCon Police are investigating.
