The bodies of two men who jumped from a boat at Candlewood Lake have been recovered. The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection only says so far that they were two Danbury men, ages 26 and 38, but their names have not yet been released. The men were reported missing Monday night. The Connecticut State Police Dive Team and the Danbury Dive Team conducted the search, resuming early Thursday after storms interrupted efforts on Wednesday. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will receive the bodies. The incident began when five people were on the boat, and the three who remained onboard called 911, prompting the search.

Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
