The body of a middle-aged man was found Friday in an Anne Arundel County creek, police have told multiple local media outlets.

WBAL-TV 11 reported that investigators believe the 52-year-old man from Annapolis fell in the water while fishing, then died in Mill Creek, which is located off of Clay Hill Road.

The man was reported missing Friday afternoon, and divers found the body around 7:45 p.m., WJZ reports. It was not fully clear when the man had last been seen.
