GEORGIA, VT — A kayaker discovered a body in Arrowhead Mountain Lake at about 6:40 a.m. Saturday.
Troopers and the Milton Fire Department responded to the scene and brought the body to shore.
The deceased individual is believed to be the man who jumped into the Lamoille River upstream of the lake Wednesday evening to attempt to rescue a young relative who fell into the water.
Her body was recovered Thursday evening.
The man’s body was transported to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
Per standard protocol, Vermont State Police will withhold the names of the deceased individuals until autopsies are complete.
Search efforts on the Lamoille River near Arrowhead Mountain Lake for the missing man continued from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.
His body was not located during Friday’s search.
The Vermont State Police and the Department of Public Safety search and rescue coordinator returned to the area Saturday with K-9s to search riverbanks and lakeshore areas downstream.
