PERRY (AP) — The body of a clammer has been found following a search of the area where he went clamming in Eastern Maine.

Marine Patrol Specialist Mark Murry said the body of Arthur Calder Jr., who is thought to be around 50, was discovered around 1 p.m. Monday on the shore of East Cove in Perry.

Murry said Calder was last heard from on Tuesday and that relatives called the Marine Patrol late Sunday afternoon after checking on Calder and discovering his clamming equipment was gone from his home.

Murry said an autopsy is expected to help determine the cause of death.
