UPDATE: Authorities recover body of missing boater

The body of a boater that went missing overnight, was found Saturday morning.

Officials with Maryland Natural Resources Police tell 47 ABC the body of 50-year-old Salisbury man Kenneth Vickers was recovered around 10:00 AM.

We’re told the Coast Guard was notified around 1:00 AM Saturday morning, that a man went overboard after his boat was involved in an accident on the Wicomico River. Officials say the boat reportedly struck the steel cylinders of a dredge pontoon when the boater was ejected.

Vickers’ body has reportedly been sent to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore.

Maryland NRP spokeswoman Candy Thomson says this was the twelfth boating facility in Maryland waters this year.
