The body of a Port Deposit man who disappeared after a canoe capsized on the Susquehanna River Tuesday night has been found, according to Maryland Natural Resources Police.

Authorities said they found the body of Jacob Nicholas Nolan, 22, near Marina Park in Port Deposit, and it has been taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.

Nolan had been missing since Tuesday night, when he and a friend were in the friend’s canoe for a fishing trip after dark by Lee’s Landing in Port Deposit, according to the report.

A small craft advisory had been issued for the region, and the pair was knocked into the water after a burst of wind capsized their boat, Natural Resources Police spokeswoman Candy Thomson said.

In the days since Nolan’s disappearance, Natural Resources Police deployed divers and Bay Area Recovery Canines into the Susquehanna River.
