State police say divers have found the body of a missing 18-year-old Saugerties man in water at the base of a large quarry cliff.

They say William Dunn was last seen at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday by friends he was camping with on the cliffs at the Holcim Cement property in the town of Catskill.

After a fruitless search Sunday, Dunn's body was found in 25 feet of water at about 10 a.m. Monday.

Police say they don't believe he was a victim of foul play.

An autopsy was planned and the investigation is continuing.
