A Massachusetts man whose body was recovered hours after he was reported missing from his sailboat near Bremen last month had accidentally drowned, according to the state’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Mark Metzger, 74, of Waltham, Massachusetts, was reported missing on Aug. 31 after his friends noticed he was not aboard his 19-foot sailboat which was anchored on the western side of Bremen Long Island. Members of the public found Metzger’s body hours later near Long Island Ledges.
