Columbus Police say his body was spotted by a CPD helicopter in the middle of the river on dry land.

The U-S Army Corp of Engineers blocked water at the reservoir in Delaware County to make it easier for dive teams to search for two brothers: Anthony Martin and Joseph Welch.

Police say they recovered one body from the river at 2:33pm today but they have not released the name of that victim.

Family members and friends came out here to the scene searching for answers.

The two missing men are brothers, according to family members. Monday's search ended shortly after 3 p.m.

Tammy Jewel is the aunt of both boys. She tells NBC4 one brother was wading in the Olentangy River Saturday evening and the current knocked the man off his feet.

The man's brother tried to grab him and bring him to safety, but both men were swept away.

The identity of the body found has not been confirmed, but it has been taken to the coroner's office.
