ABERDEEN, Md. (WMAR) - The body of Khaam Xairabong has been recovered. Xairabong, 35, was last seen on Sunday swimming in the Bush River near Aberdeen.

Today officials from the Natural Resources Police recovered his body from the river in the same general area that he had been missing from.

The Edgewood man was out with friends on a boat when they decided to go for a swim, but the wind took Xairabong away from the boat and under water.

Another man had also been reported missing on Sunday, but Coast Guard officials say a good Samaritan in a canoe was able to rescue him.
