According to Dave Procopio of Massachusetts State Police, State Police divers this afternoon recovered a teenage male who did not resurface after jumping into a quarry in Gloucester. The victim, who is approximately 18 years old, was transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
