A Jonesport lobsterman on Monday found a body in the ocean near Addison.
The Maine Marine Patrol has recovered the body, and it is being transported to the Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta for identification, Maine Department of Marine Resources spokesperson Jeff Nichols said.
Nichols declined to comment on whether the body may be that of Tylar Michaud, a Steuben lobsterman who went missing on July 21 after he went out to haul traps near Petit Manan Island.
Michaud, 18, just graduated this spring from Sumner Memorial High School in Sullivan. Several hundred people attended a celebration of life service held Sunday for Michaud at the school.
