Bodies of 2 missing British boaters found

The bodies of two missing British expatriates have been found in a river in India, police said Friday. Ian Turton, 45, and Michael Easton, 57, who both lived in Bangalore, were reported missing when they failed to return from a weekend trip to the Cauvery River, The Times of India reported. Police told The Hindu the two might have drowned after hitting their heads on the rocks when their boat capsized. The British newspaper, The Independent, said one Indian report suggested a canoe found on the river showed signs of a crocodile attack. Superintendent Kaushlendra Kumar, the police officer leading the search for the bodies, said investigators were able to pinpoint the time when the two men got into trouble because a cellphone stopped sending signals at 4:15 p.m. May 19. Turton, who was originally from York, worked for a U.S. company, Tenneco Automotive, in Bangalore. Easton was from London.
