BUXTON, N.C. — A man's body washed up on the Outer Banks Wednesday morning near where a teen swimmer was last seen last weekend, authorities said.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore staff found the body shortly after 7 a.m. roughly a mile-and-a-half north of jetties in Buxton where the teen went missing Saturday evening, authorities said.

An autopsy will be performed Thursday to determine the man's identity.
