Police: New York man reported missing on Cape Cod has been found deceased
A New York man that had been reported as possibly missing has been found deceased on Cape Cod, according to authorities.
The Bourne Police Department was actively searching for 60-year-old Matthew Chamberlain from Locust Valley, New York as a possible missing person in the area of the Bourne Bridge recreational area parking lot on the Cape Side.
Chamberlain was believed to have parked his truck in the parking lot Monday evening accompanied by his two dogs.
BPD had received a call regarding the wet dogs running around the parked truck. No owner could be located, and the dogs were brought in for their safety. As Bourne police officers continued to gather information earlier today from family, officers learned that the dog’s owner may be prone to wandering and may be lost due to medical conditions.
The US Army Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard were contacted to search the waterways and the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Council Search & Rescue team was contacted to search the heavily wooded areas surrounding the parking lot.
Chamberlain was located deceased on the riprap of the Cape Cod Canal.
Massachusetts State Police, Bourne Police, and the Office of the Medical Examiner are investigating.
