ST. GEORGE, Maine (WGAN) Maine’s Marine Patrol say they’ve recovered a body near Tenants Harbor in Long Cove as part of their search for a clammer who went missing during last Thursday’s blizzard.

The family of 35-year-old Paul Benner says he departed from the Long Cove boat ramp to clam on Clark Island in St. George but didn’t return.

The Maine Marine Patrol said Maine State Police and a dive team uncovered the body just before noon on Monday. It will be brought to the Medical Examiner’s Office to confirm the identity. An update from the Marine Patrol is expected pending the body identification.

St. George is a coastal area located about 46 miles (74 kilometers) southeast of Augusta.
