Body confirmed to be missing kayaker

The New York State Police and Cornwall-On Hudson Police have determined the death of Byrant J. Furchak, age 44, from New Windsor, to be the result of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

Route 32 is expected to be closed for up to four hours, according to the Department of Transportation. At approximately 2:30 p.m., a two-vehicle accident shut down the state road, in both directions, near Ardmore Street.
