Body of missing Havre de Grace teen found in Susquehanna River

The body of 18-year-old Mark Everett Coates III from Havre de Grace was recovered in the Susquehanna River near Garrett Island, ending a weeklong search, The Baltimore Banner reported.

Coates had gone fishing the previous Wednesday, and his 10-foot aluminum jon boat was found capsized and unmanned near Garrett Island in Cecil County, about half a mile upstream from his launch point in Harford County.

The Maryland National Resources Police located Coates' body between the Tydings Memorial Bridge on Interstate 95 and the Hatem Memorial Bridge on U.S. 40 around noon on Thursday.

The search involved multiple agencies across Maryland, including Baltimore City and Baltimore, Charles, and Harford counties, as well as assistance from Delaware and Pennsylvania. Volunteers from the Christian Aid Ministries Pennsylvania Search and Rescue team ultimately found Coates' body offshore of Garrett Island.

The United Cajun Navy contributed 84 volunteers and 34 vessels to the search effort, according to the Maryland National Resources Police.
