The body of 18-year-old Devan Breau of Musquash was found Wednesday, three days after he left his home to go fishing.
RCMP divers found Breau's body at 10:50 a.m. in the East Branch Reservoir on the outskirts of Saint John.

According to RCMP, Breau left home around noon on Sunday, telling his sister that he was going fishing.
Family and friends were at the reservoir during the search, but they did not speak with CBC News.
The body was taken to hospital, where an autopsy will be done. The autopsy results will be released to the family.
Twelve organizations took part in the search for Breau, including Ambulance New Brunswick, the Musquash Fire Department, the Department of Energy and Resource Development, RCMP, and ground search and rescue volunteers from Charlotte County, York Sunbury, River Valley, Carleton and Greater Fundy.
