Police use drone to find man’s body in Wellfleet marsh
A Yarmouth man who had been missing for 11 days was found dead in a marsh by a police drone Thursday, investigators said.
William E. Fleming, 56, was last seen on Dec. 20, and his family reported him missing Dec. 26, Yarmouth police said. On Monday, his blue Toyota pickup truck was found in a dirt road in a secluded area of Lieutenant Island in Wellfleet.
Over the last few days, police said, investigators searched for Fleming in the area. Just before noon Thursday, a drone spotted a body in the marsh, and it was later identified as Fleming.
His death does not appear to be suspicious.
