Philip Merrill, 1934 - 2006
Publisher Philip Merrill’s body was discovered by a boater yesterday nine miles south of the search area.
Tom Marquardt, the executive editor of the Capital, said the Merrill family is “grieving all over again.”
“It’s been a very difficult time for them,” he said. “They’re gathering around each other and getting through this ordeal.”
The Capital Newspaper notes that a boater spotted Merrill’s body about 12:30 p.m. in the water 1 1/2 miles southwest of Poplar Island. It was about 11 1/2 miles northeast of where his 41-foot sailboat was found adrift near Plum Point in Calvert County.
