Update: John Grieb, 44, of Randolph, has been identified as the man who drowned in the Spruce Run Reservoir on Monday.
CLINTON -- State Police Marine Divers recovered the body of John Grieb, 44, of Randolph, on Tuesday at 9:32 a.m. from Spruce Run Reservoir, State Police spokesman Trooper Jeff Flynn said Tuesday afternoon.
He was officially pronounced dead at the scene at 10:10 a.m., said Flynn. The preliminary investigation revealed "nothing suspicious," he said.
Grieb apparently fell into the Spruce Run Reservoir Monday afternoon when the boat he was riding in overturned, Flynn said Tuesday morning.
The search, which was called off at nightfall on Monday, resumed Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., Flynn said.
Searchers used a side scan sonar device attached to a rescue boat to locate Grieb, which was then recovered by divers, said Flynn. He did not immediately have a location of where he was found.
Sometime before 3 p.m. Monday, two men were traveling in the boat when it overturned, Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Lawrence Hajna said Monday afternoon.
One of the men was able to swim back to shore, Hajna said, while Grieb was unable to reach the shore.
State Police took over the investigation from the DEP late Monday evening, said Hajna.
In a separate incident, the body of Koon Fung, 71, of Toms River, who went missing at Round Valley Reservoir on Sunday, was found Monday morning after an apparent drowning.
