They found the poor bastard:
NARRAGANSETT, R.I. -- The body of a man who has been missing since Sunday has been recovered, the Narragansett Police Department reported.
At 12:40 p.m. Tuesday, the Rhode Island State Police dive team and the Narragansett Police Department found the body of Samans Nou, 25, of Lowell, Mass. He has been missing since 2 p.m. Sunday when he was swept into the ocean by waves off Narragansett.
"This was off Hazard Avenue in the same general area where he was last seen," said Capt. Gerald Driscoll of the Narragansett Police.
Nou's body was discovered underwater, Driscoll said, and was located by State Police divers using robotic cameras and sonar devices.
Nou's body was taken to the Coast Guard station at Point Judith, Driscoll said, and a Massachusetts driver's license was found on him confirming his identity. Nou's family was notified and the R.I. Medical Examiner's office took possession of his body.
On Sunday, Nou was among four people fishing about 2 miles south of Town Beach near Hazard Rock when all four of them were swept by waves into the ocean. Three of the people , who the Coast Guard would not identify, were rescued. Nou had been missing for almost 47 hours.
