Fisherman's body pulled from Port Clyde Harbor - Portland Press Herald - Press Herald

A body was pulled from the ocean off Port Clyde on Friday night, after Maine Marine Patrol received a report that a local fisherman’s skiff was adrift in the harbor with no one aboard.

Marine Patrol is not identifying the deceased publicly until their family is notified.

Authorities found the body around 9 p.m. in the harbor of the Knox County community, with help from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Coast Guard, local fire and EMS, and a “large group of local fishermen and Good Samaritans,” Marine Patrol said in a news release.

The state medical examiner is conducting an autopsy, and Marine Patrol will investigate the incident.
