A BODY discovered in the Hudson River on Thursday, February 7, is believed to be that of missing Roscommon native Tony Devine.Although family of Devine, who went missing on November 30 last year, are waiting for confirmation from a DNA test carried out by the New York Medical Examiner's office, possessions found on the body, as well as clothes and jewelry that Devine was wearing at the time of his disappearance, indicate that it is likely to be the 29-year old Yonkers resident.Devine, whose Christian name is James Anthony but went by Tony, was out socializing with friends in Midtown Manhattan on the night of his disappearance. He was last seen at Slattery's Bar on 36th Street about midnight. His last phone call was at 10 p.m. He never made contact with family or friends after that time.Since his disappearance friends and family spent weeks searching for the missing man, who was a carpenter by trade. Hospitals were checked, shelters were called, various towns in upstate New York and New Jersey were visited and thousands of posters were placed on poles, in bars and restaurants, subways and buildings in an effort to locate him. Devine's family enlisted the help of private investigators and psychics. Yonkers detectives spent weeks trying to locate the missing Irishman. Tony's brother Martin offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to his safe return.On Thursday an 18-year-old man was fishing near 168 Street and Riverside Drive, near the George Washington Bridge, when he discovered the body washed up near a pile of rocks in the Hudson River. A police report state that the body found was a young white male wearing a white striped shirt, jeans and brown boots - all clothes matching the description of the clothing Devine was wearing the night of his disappearance.Police confirmed on Tuesday that an autopsy on the body ruled out foul play. It may take up to eight weeks for DNA results to come back. If at that time it is verified the body is that of the missing man, Devine will be waked in Yonkers before being flown home to be buried near his family in Tulsk, Co. Roscommon.
