The body of a Fairview man was found near the Bergen Arches in Jersey City late last week, authorities have confirmed.



Family members and friends of Luis Garcia, 27, had been searching for him since they say he disappeared while visiting Jersey City on Saturday, July 15. He was last seen at a Downtown Jersey City bar.

Cops found Garcia's lifeless body on Thursday at about 2:40 p.m. near the lower Route 139 highway that leads into the Holland Tunnel, according to a police report. Garcia was found face down in a small body of water, the report says.

Family members were notified of Garcia's death today, according to Fairview Police Chief Martin Kahn.



A spokesman for the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said Garcia's death is not considered suspicious.
