Divers and marine crews searched Pequot Pond for several hours Saturday in the latest of several search operations for the young adult male from East Longmeadow, whose name has not been released.

After Saturday's unsuccessful search, police said the Westfield Fire Department and state police air wing will continue to search the pond periodically in upcoming days. State police and environmental police marine and dive assets will return if they develop new information about the man's possible location.

Police have said the man was in a canoe with two other people in a pond at the park when it capsized around 6 p.m. Wednesday. The two other people in the canoe returned to shore, but the third never resurfaced.

One of the men who made it to shore was taken to a local hospital but was expected to survive.
