DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - The body of a pilot whose plane crashed in Lake Superior off Duluth has been found.

A body was found underwater just before 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

According to the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office, the water is so deep that they have to hold off on the recovery until they can bring in commercial divers.
