A body was found Wednesday evening in the Kennebec River in Bath.
A witness on Crawford Island spotted the body on nearby Woods Island, where the Maine Marine Patrol recovered it about 6 p.m., according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.
The body has been taken to the Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta.
That comes amid the search for 22-year-old Robert Stolt of Augusta, who has been missing since Sunday when he tried to rescue his dog after it jumped from his 23-foot boat in the river near Lines Island, where Stolt was fishing.
An animal control officer later rescued the dog on Lines Island, while boaters helped a woman and a second dog still aboard the boat after Stolt went into the water. She was treated for minor injuries and released.
