The body of the last person missing after a 12-foot boat carrying four fishermen from Fort Fairfield capsized June 13 in an Aroostook County lake has been found, the Maine Warden Service said Monday.
The warden service’s dive team recovered the body of Mark Chambers, 51, from Square Lake about 5:50 p.m. Sunday, Cpl. John MacDonald said in a statement.
Chambers’ body was found in about 48 feet of water using side-scan sonar. Wardens searched about 1,400 acres in an area 1 mile wide and 2½ miles long to locate the remains of Chambers and two others, MacDonald said.
One person survived the accident. Charles Guimond, 23, drifted to shore and was located by a warden service pilot the next day.
The bodies of two other men were recovered later. The body of Martin Chambers, 56, Mark Chambers’ brother, was recovered on the afternoon of June 14, and the body of Eric Sherwood, 43, was located June 23.
The recovery of Mark Chambers’ body marked the end of an 11-day search effort by the warden service.
