The body of a man who fell off a boat on the Chesapeake Bay on New Year's Eve has been found.
The body of Stephen Reynolds, 48, was identified Friday, a Maryland Natural Resources Police spokeswoman said.
Hunters discovered Reynolds’ body Jan. 30 on the shores of Cook Point, 28 miles from where he fell off his boat just north of the Bay Bridge, police said.
Reynolds, of Baltimore, and a female companion boarded a sailboat in Baltimore the afternoon of Dec. 31 and decided to stop for the night about 9 p.m.. He struggled to secure the sails of the boat, lost his grip and fell overboard, the woman told police.
Reynolds then drifted away until the woman could no longer see him, she reported. He had not been wearing a life jacket, police said.
Rescue crews searched for Reynolds that evening and the next day but did not find him.
Reynolds was the last person to die in a boating accident in Maryland in 2015.
