VALLEY TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The body of a diver who was inspecting a dam in the Allegan area Wednesday has been recovered, according to an update from WOOD TV Wednesday.

The incident was initially reported by WHTC Holland, one of WKZO’s sister stations.

According to that report, the diver was working on a Consumers Energy safety inspection project at Calkins Bridge Dam, located in Valley Township.

At some point, the diver did not resurface from beneath the water, prompting a search from emergency crews.

According to the update from WOOD TV, the body of the diver was recovered around 4 p.m., just downriver from where he had last been seen.

The name of the diver has not been released at this time.
