Authorities have located the body of a boater who went missing Thursday night at reservoir in Auburn, Massachusetts. Auburn fire officials said the boater -- a resident of the area -- was found by divers with the help of a K-9 on Friday morning, Auburn's deputy fire chief, Glenn Johnson, said in a press conference. Auburn police received a call at 5:52 p.m. Thursday about a boat accident on Dark Brook Reservoir in the area Bryn Mawr Avenue. Boats were quickly deployed to the water and divers from the fire department later began to search the waters, Johnson said. The divers searched for about an hour Thursday night but were called off due to dangerous conditions. On Friday morning, the operations resumed at which time a K9 located the area where a diver from the Worcester Fire Department eventually located the body.
