Emergency crews in Rensselaer County were called just after 4 p.m. Saturday, April 1, with reports that a kayaker had spotted a body floating in the Mohawk River, near Lions Park in Niskayuna, according to State Police.

A short time later, members of the Niskayuna police and fire departments responded to the scene, where they recovered the man’s body.

On Monday, April 3, troopers identified the man as 41-year-old Kevin White, of the Village of Canajoharie in Montgomery County. White had been reported missing to Canajoharie Police on Jan. 16, police said.
