A missing boater was found dead Monday afternoon after an incident at Little Hurricane boat ramp, according to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Brad Youngman said the person is believed to be a 72-year-old male. Youngman said the call to dispatch indicated a boat had drifted from the slip with its engine off. He said onlookers reported that they noticed the man did not come back up from the boat and they saw what is believed to be the man’s belongings floating in the water.
Youngman said the call came in at 5:13 p.m., and the first DCSO unit arrived at 5:21. The man’s body was recovered a little after 6:30 p.m., Youngman said.
The body was found .5 miles west of the boat dock, according to Youngman.
The Daviess County and Owensboro fire departments and the Henderson County dive team also responded.
The Daviess County coroner has been called to the scene.
