Authorities recovered the body of a 63-year-old man in Lake Michigan, one of two people who died when a fishing boat sank in late August off Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula.

The body of Merl McVay was found in deep water Monday, a few miles from the Arcadia pier in Manistee County, the sheriff’s office said.

Minnie Batchelder, 77, also died following the boat mishap on Aug. 27.

Three other people — ages 69, 71 and 82 — were rescued by another boat, authorities said.
