The body of a snowmobiler was pulled from a lake in northern Maine Sunday morning.
According to the Maine Warden Service, 74-year-old Allen Cole Jr. of Bradford was last seen around 2 p.m. Friday before heading off on his snowmobile.
Cole’s family notified wardens that he was missing around 7 p.m. Saturday after he didn’t return.
Wardens later found snowmobile tracks leading to a large hole in the ice on Seboeis Lake, south of Millinocket.
Dive teams found Cole’s body just before 9 a.m. Sunday.
The Maine Warden Service is asking residents to check the ice to make sure it’s safe before going out on it.
With unseasonably warm temperatures, game wardens say ice is thin on many bodies of water throughout Maine.
