BELFAST, Maine — A body was found in the water near the footbridge in Belfast Monday, according to police.
Officials with the Belfast Police Department confirmed to NEWS CENTER Maine they received calls from employees at the Front Street Shipyard just before 3 p.m.
When officers responded, they found the body in the Passagassawakeag River and notified Maine State Police and the Maine Medical Examiner's Officer.
