Dive Team Recovers Body of Kayaker from Merrimack River in Concord

N.H. Fish and Game

  New Hampshire Fish & Game divers recovered the body of a kayaker from the Merrimack River in Concord on Friday.

Officials identified him as Alec Bronchuck, 20, of Merrimack, who was last seen Thursday.

 

He and his brother were fishing when their kayaks took on water and they swam to shore, the younger of the brothers unable to reach land, according to Fish & Game.

 
The drowning accident remains under investigation. Fish & Game reports that it appears no flotation devices were aboard the kayaks. Marine Patrol, State Police, and Concord police and firefighters assisted in the search and recovery.
