The body of a 6-year-old boy has been recovered nearly 72 hours after the child and his mother drowned after falling into a fast-moving river in Massachusetts while on a family camping trip.
The multi-day search effort that sprawled out across the Merrimack River in Newburyport, located about 35 miles northeast of Boston, concluded on Sunday at around 2pm when a kayaker found the body of Mason DeChhat about half a mile from where the boy had last been seen on Deer Island.
