Body found in Chapman quarry -- themorningcall.com
Yes you read it right....they found the body floating in the water about 8" down with an air pocket in their jacket keeping them a float....the approaching boat disturbed the air pocket and the body sank. Nobody in the boat was dressed to make an underwater dive. Crews have been unable to locate the body using sonar. Estimated in 155' of water down a 100' cliff to get in the water (other areas are lower on opposite end of quarry. Crews will attempt to locate again today using side scan sonar. Lots of debris in that end of the quarry underwater (old cranes, cars, etc.) My team may be called for our SSDS due tot he depth once the body is located. Either way, this is a very long job.
If you have Google Earth the approx location of the recovery is
40 degrees 45 hours 30.93 minutes North and 75 degrees 24 hours 03.66 minutes West
