Police say they found the body of a missing boater on the beach near the Old Field Lighthouse in Port Jefferson.
Officials identified the body as James Bilello, 73, of Bay Shore, who went missing after a boating mishap. The body of 80-year-old Charles Petrie, of Holtsville, was recovered in Port Jefferson Harbor yesterday.
The Coast Guard says the two men were fishing when something wrapped around the propeller of their 20-foot boat and caused it to overturn.
