The Vermont State Police dive team has recovered a body in Kingsland Bay of Lake Champlain, off of Ferrisburgh, that is believed to be a fisherman that fell out of a boat on Saturday.

The missing man was identified as Douglas Brooks, 48, of Burlington, police said,

An autopsy will be conducted to confirm the identity of the man, police said.

Police said they found Brooks in about 90 feet of water after a sonar identified a possible target about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday. It was far off shore.

The missing man’s family, which has held a vigil on shore since shortly after the accident, was notified.

It took more than two hours to complete the logistics of sending divers down, recovering the body and bringing him to the surface and ashore.

The Vermont State Police were joined by divers from the New York State Police, according to Lt. Charles Winn, commander of the Vermont divers.

The dive teams set up operations at Point Bay Marina in Charlotte in recent days.

The man reportedly went overboard from a small boat while out on the lake fishing with a friend about 4 p.m. Saturday, police said.

The man was not wearing a life jacket when he fell into the water, according to his companion.

The friend attempted to search for the missing man, but he did not resurface, police said.

On Sunday more than a half dozen Vermont State Police divers hit the water and used sonars to try to locate the body, Winn said.

The search continued Monday and until early Tuesday afternoon.
