A Sequim fisherman’s body was recovered from the water near the Dungeness Spit, where he went missing in mid-May.

At the time of his disappearance, Coone was fishing during a Small Craft Advisory, and the GPS coordinates located Coone in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, according to KING 5.
The Coast Guard searched the area for 16 hours and recovered Coone’s kayak and flotation device, but no body was found, KING 5 stated.
