Man Drowns Off Rockport While Fishing

WALTHAM (CBS) - Officials are investigating the death of a Waltham man who apparently drowned while fishing in Rockport.

The Essex DA's office believes 20-year-old Julio Concepcion of Waltham either fell or was swept into the water by a wave while he was fishing with friends at Segal Point in Rockport.

Officials said Concepcion's friends noticed he was missing and called police.
