A body in the Norfolk morgue has been identified as that of a Rhode Island man reported missing by his family late last week.
Michael Steven Lawton, 43, had been staying in the Tidewater Yacht Marina, police said. He had traveled by boat to Portsmouth. His family reported him missing after they didn't hear from him for more than 15 days.
A police spokeswoman said he appeared to have died of natural causes. by CNB
