The Maine Warden Service said Friday the body of a boater who went missing on the Androscoggin River has been found.

Wardens were searching for 32-year-old Richard Stevens of Auburn, who was presumed drowned.

The search began following reports of an overturned boat on the Androscoggin River in Topsham on Thursday night.

Two of the three people who were in the boat were rescued.

Wardens said Stevens was not wearing a life jacket.

This is the second incident on the Androscoggin River in the past week. On Saturday, the body of 39-year-old Isar Coleman of Lewiston was pulled from the river in Lewiston.
