ACADIA NATIONAL PARK (AP) – Divers have recovered the body of a 22-year-old Maryland man who drowned in Echo Lake in Acadia National Park.

The body of Stephen Chan of Newmarket, Md., was found Friday after a nearly 24-hour air, water and ground search.

Chan was reported missing by his girlfriend, who said she last saw him wading in the lake Thursday afternoon.

Chan’s body was found in 60 feet of water about midway across the lake, Ranger Neil Labrie said. Because there were no witnesses, officials said they were uncertain about what happened.
