Coast Guard Searching for Second Canoeist Following Accident

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ The Coast Guard is continuing its search for a canoeist in the waters off the Maine coast after one canoeist wearing a life jacket was found dead in Chandler Bay.

    Authorities say a man and woman departed Friday night from Jonesport in a green canoe and did not return. 

    A fisherman spotted the male canoeist floating in Chandler Bay at about 11 a.m. Saturday. The man was pronounced dead by medical responders.

    A cooler was found floating in the bay Saturday afternoon, but the female boater and the canoe remain missing.
