A multi-agency response was launched, with vessels and divers deployed to search for the missing boater. However, the search was suspended late Saturday evening due to severe weather and darkness.
On Sunday morning, the kayaker remained missing, and the search operation resumed, with the body found shortly before 4 PM.
