UPPER NYACK - A man's body was pulled from the Hudson River on Wednesday afternoon after it was spotted by a man in a rowboat, authorities said.

Orangetown police identified the body as Henry Cadet Jr., who was last seen on Nov. 25 in the village of Nyack and had been reported missing on Dec. 1.

The Rockland Sheriff's Marine Unit pulled in the body about 50 yards off shore from Nyack Beach State Park, Chief William Barbera said.

Barbera said a rower spotted the body and then called 911. The Marine Unit was then dispatched to the area.

"This guy was on the water rowing," Barbera said. "He called in and said it looks like a body."

Orangetown police said the investigation into the cause of death was ongoing.
