On Thursday, deputies said they were asked to make contact with Noble after he didn’t show up for work. Noble was scheduled to begin his new career as a first-year teacher at East Forsyth Middle School this year.
Shortly afterward, deputies say Noble rented a boat at Kernersville Lake Park. At about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, that boat came to rest on a bank of the lake and Noble was nowhere to be found.
Some of his personal belongings, as well as his car, were found. The discovery of the boat prompted an all-out ground and water search.
A cause of death has not been released pending an autopsy by the medical examiner.
