LITTLE COMPTON, R.I. (WJAR) — The bodies of the two fishermen who were last seen off the coast of Little Compton have been recovered.

Multiple reliable sources and neighbors told NBC 10 News that officials found the two bodies not far from the rock where the two were fishing Saturday morning.

Family members identified the brothers as Valdir Centeio, 31, and Aldino Centeio, 27, both from Stoughton.

Officials said a third person tried to rescue the brothers after both entered the water but was unsuccessful Saturday morning.

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and Coast Guard were among the departments that assisted the search, along with Middletown, Tiverton, Newport, and Little Compton marine units.

Crews were doing both maritime and land searches throughout the day Saturday.

The Coast Guard used side-scan sonar during their search, but the two fishermen were not found.

In a news release, a spokesperson with the Coast Guard said that it stopped its involvement in the investigation and notified the family once command was terminated Saturday at about 3 p.m.

The Coast Guard expressed its condolences.
