SOMERSET — Vermont State Police recovered the body of a missing boater Tuesday afternoon during continued search efforts on Somerset Reservoir.
A kayaker notified Vermont State Police auxiliary troopers of a body in the water during the search for 74-year-old David Maynard of Wilmington, who had been missing for a week.
Crews responded to the area and recovered the body, making initial identification as Maynard.
The body will be brought to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy to confirm identity and determine the cause and manner of death.
The incident does not appear to be suspicious.
Participating agencies throughout the weeklong search included underwater recovery teams and aerial units from the Massachusetts and New York state police, in addition to local first-response organizations.
