A friend of the victim placed an urgent 911 call to Nashoba Regional Dispatch at about 12:28 a.m. Thursday, indicating the swimmer disappeared from view about 250 feet from the shoreline near Barba's Point.
Divers ultimately found the missing swimmer's body around 2:09 a.m., according to police. Authorities have not publicly identified the drowning victim.
"We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased during this incredibly difficult time," Harvard police said in a statement.
"We urge the public to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines when engaging in recreational activities in and around water bodies."
