The body of a 70-year-old Eastham man who went missing while he was rowing was found Friday night in the water off Asa's Landing in Orleans, police said.

The body of John Bete was found at about 9:40 p.m. by a Coast Guard helicopter that was assisting in the search. The search of the Orleans Town Cove began at about 7 p.m. after reports that Bete was overdue and his rowboat was found overturned, police said in a statement.

The Orleans Police, State Police, and medical examiner's office are investigating.
