Overview
- Regional dive teams found a body at Shadowbrook Quarries on Sunday and recovery operations concluded that afternoon, Milford Fire Chief Mark Nelson said.
- Officials have identified the deceased as 17-year-old Yanick Rodrigues of Boston, who was reported to have been swimming with a friend when he went missing.
- The Worcester County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Milford Police and Massachusetts State Police detectives are leading a continuing investigation and have not released further details.
- The fatality follows a recent serious fall at the same quarries and comes at a site long known for illegal swimming, steep ledges, underwater debris and limited access for emergency crews.
- Local officials have warned residents to stay away from the quarries and have previously threatened fines and stepped-up patrols, a response that could increase after this incident.
