LA CROSSE - Police say a body recovered from the Mississippi River in downtown La Crosse is that of a fisherman who had been missing since November.
A passer-by spotted the body in the river about 8 a.m. Friday. Authorities later determined the body was 27-year-old Joshua Xiong, of Onalaska, who went missing Nov. 9 while fishing alone near Lock and Dam 7 near Dresbach, Minnesota.
A life jacket and gas tank were found near the dam and his boat was found about one mile downstream. The boat had suffered significant damage.
