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 tell NBC 10 that officials found the two bodies not far from the rock where they 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 (DEM) and Coast Guard are among the departments who assisted the search, along with Middletown, Tiverton, Newport, and Little Compton marine units

How sad.

Were they fishing on the Jetty at Sakonnet Point?

I thought I initially read Warren’s but could be wrong.

The whole area is super fishy. Some parts really easy to fish others deadly.

It was Warren’s, at least according to the pan pan put out by the coast guard that morning.

Yup. We fished it heavy back in the 80s and early 90s. Depending on where and when it could be dicey.

I had fished that area from the boat on Saturday and we saw the emergency vehicles. Didn't know what was going on but must have been this accident.
