Body of missing swimmer recovered from Candlewood Lake in New Milford

The body of a boy missing in Candlewood Lake has been recovered by the New Milford Police dive team.  Mayor Pete Bass says the 17-year old New Milford resident was reported missing late Monday afternoon in the water off Dike Point Park and Rock Island. 

The water in that area is murky and 20 to 30 feet deep.  New Milford police, Water Witch Hose Co. No. 2, Newtown Underwater Search and Rescue, State Environmental Conservation Police and crews from New Fairfield and Brookfield had been searching for days. 

Officials do not suspect foul play.  The area is largely considered "swim at your own risk" because it is not monitored.

Authorities have not released the teen's name, but have said he is a student at Henry Abbott Technical High School in Danbury.  No other details were immediately released.
