BRIDGEPORT, Calif. (AP) - A missing boater has been found dead in a reservoir along the eastern Sierra Nevada.

Mono County sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Beard says the boater's body was found Friday in Bridgeport Reservoir.

The boater's name was not immediately released.

Beard says divers found the body on the third day of a search after a boat was found anchored about 60 yards off shore.

During the search, a woman reported her husband was overdue from
a fishing trip, and searchers received a report of a partially submerged boat.

An investigation into the death continues.
