DOWNSVILLE, Md. (AP) – Officials say a Maryland couple was killed when their boat went over a dam on the Potomac River.

The Herald-Mail reported that rescue workers initially found a woman’s body following the Sunday morning discovery of an overturned Bass Tracker fiberglass boat. News outlets report the Maryland Natural Resources Police identified the woman as 62-year-old Susan Lynne King, and found the body of her husband, 63-year-old David Robert King on Monday.

Police spokeswoman Catherine Medellin says a preliminary investigation shows their boat went over Dam No. 4.

Albert says Susan King worked at Meritus Medical Center. He says investigators haven’t found many family members of the couple.
