Authorities in western Pennsylvania have recovered the body of a man who drowned while canoeing, and are still seeking a kayaker missing in a different county.

Armstrong County Coroner Robert Bower said the body of 60-year-old Harry Orr of Redbank Township was found Sunday morning in Mahoning Creek.

Bower said Orr and two friends set out in a canoe south of Mahoning Dam but ran into choppy water that caused the craft to capsize. All had been wearing life jackets, but officials said Orr had taken his off. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is investigating.

Crews in Fayette County have been searching for a 31-year-old man reported missing after kayaking in Ohiopyle State Park. Park staff, state police and volunteers searched until early Sunday and resumed after daylight.
