Sadie Mauro, of Sherborn in Middlesex County, was one of six people on a boat that struck a jetty in Sesuit Harbor in Barnstable County around 9 p.m., reports said. Rescue crews found her body off Cold Storage Beach around 11:30 p.m. following a multi-agency search, state police said.
Sadie was a rising senior and lacrosse star at Dover-Sherborn High School. Several news outlets said Principal John Smith sent an email to parents, students, and faculty saying he was "devastated and heartbroken."
Sadie’s smile could light up a room, she had a heart of gold and the sweetest spirit. She had such a strong sense of self and had a love for adventure and anything outdoors. A hardworking student and great athlete, Sadie was genuine and effortlessly kind.
A 17-year-old boy was hospitalized with a head wound, police announced.
Investigators have not said what caused the crash. Dive teams and police collected debris and evidence Saturday to make that determination.
