Authorities say a body believed to be that of a missing kayaker has been recovered from Michigan's Grand River.

Lansing police officials say the submerged body was located Saturday morning.

It matches descriptions of the 24-year-old man who fell into the water Feb. 27 near the Brenke Fish Ladder in the city.

Police say the link is preliminary and a positive identity hasn't been established.

An autopsy is planned.
