ST. GEORGE, Maine (AP) - Authorities in Maine recovered the body of a fisherman from a harbor Friday evening with help from a large search party.
The state Department of Marine Resources said its marine patrol, with the help of local fishermen, pulled the body of Travis Thorbjornson, 54, of Warren from Port Clyde Harbor in St. George at around 9 p.m.
The agency received a report earlier that Thorbjornson’s skiff was found adrift in the harbor with no one aboard.
Marine patrol, along with members of the Knox County Sheriff’s office, local fire and EMS services, the U.S. Coast Guard, and others took part in the search of the harbor and nearby shoreline.
The agency said Thorbjornson’s body has been taken to the state Medical Examiners Office in Augusta for an autopsy and the investigation is ongoing.
