The Maine Warden Service has found the body of a missing 59-year-old Rockland man on Chickawaukie Lake in Rockland.

Wardens says they found 59-year-old Timothy Payson about 15 feet underwater after starting a search Sunday afternoon.

Wardens say a Rockland resident spotted a small Zodiak style boat in the water doing circles with a dog in it after hearing calls for help.

Rockland Police and Rockport Fire Departments managed to board the moving boat and turn it off, but could not initially fins Payson

The Maine Warden Service was using divers and sonar to search for Payson, and had planned to search into the night utilizing sonar equipped watercraft.
