Authorities found a body in the Hudson River at about noon on Monday. The body reportedly matches the description of Jones, a 32-year-old model and photographer, according to the New York Daily News. “An autopsy will be conducted to confirm the identity of the body and to determine the cause of death. In the meantime, the search for Jones has been suspended.

“Just after 12:00 pm on [Monday] a human male body was located in the Hudson river near the Poughkeepsie yacht club. The body has been removed, and is scheduled to undergo an autopsy on Tuesday to determine the cause of death and identification,” the Dutchess County sheriff’s office said in a statement. “The body matches the description of Mr Ian Jones, who has been missing in the Hudson river since the morning of Saturday after a kayaking accident. While there is a strong possibility that the body recovered is that of Mr Jones, it remains only a possibility at this time.

“Further information will be released once the autopsy is completed and official identification made, and at this time the search for Mr Jones has been suspended until further notice,” the statement concluded.

Lennox, 22, and Jones went kayaking in the Hudson River off the coast of Sattsburg, N.Y., Saturday morning. When the tandem kayak capsized, they clung to the vessel in an effort to stay afloat. Strong currents eventually separated the couple; Lennox was rescued by a passing boat, but Jones had remained missing.

The strong river current, lack of lifejackets and alcohol are all believed to have contributed to the incident, according to police. No foul play is suspected.

Lennox, a model-turned-artist, was uninjured in the accident.
