JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - An Alaska fisherman found the body of a man floating off Yakobi Island.
Alaska State Troopers say the state medical examiner will conduct an autopsy and attempt to identify the remains.

Yakobi Island is off the northwest corner of Chichagof (CHICH-ah-gawf) Island.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers on fisheries patrol recovered the body.
Troopers say the victim was an older white man. They could not make an initial identification.
