EASTON — A man fishing on the Delaware River near Easton found a human leg.

The find Sunday morning prompted a search along the river by Forks Township police.

Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli would not speculate about the body part.

Brian Lynch, a Phillipsburg, N.J., High School student, went missing May 25 when he jumped from a train trestle that spanned the river. The trestle site is about 20 miles upriver from where the fisherman found the leg.
