Rescuers find body of man who jumped off boat

CAPE MAY POINT, N.J. (AP) - June 11, 2009 Ajit Modi of Plainsboro jumped from the Spirit of Cape May, an 85-foot boat used for whale- and dolphin-watching cruises, at around 10:15 a.m. Thursday, not long after the boat had pulled away from shore.

His body was recovered near the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal a few hours later after being spotted from a Coast Guard helicopter.

An investigation is under way.
