Body of Missing Man Found in Bellingham Lake

Police have found the body of a missing boater who drowned in a lake in Bellingham, Massachusetts Tuesday night.

Police say a man in his 40's fell in the water of Lake Hiawatha when his canoe tipped over.

The Worcester County District Attorney's office identified the victim as 42-year-old Martin Armando Celado-Herrera of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. 

The fire chief says the man was not wearing a life vest and did not know how to swim.

Celado-Herrera was pulled from the lake around 11:30 p.m. and pronounced dead.

The death does not appear to be suspicious but the investigation is ongoing.
