A Barnstable police officer doing a perimeter search around 7:30 am today made the discovery.
A note left elsewhere leads investigators to consider the possibility it was suicide.
Early this morning a Barnstable Police Department boat was out on the lake that was searched for a week and found the body believed to be that of the missing kayaker floating.
Barnstable Police Department, State Police Department and divers from the COMM Fire Department went out and brought the body to shore to be photographed by the State Police Department crime unit and then was placed into a van to be taken to the ME for further tests.

Mother, sons arrested, house condemned
HYANNIS - Barnstable Police say they were forced to shoot a pit bull when it lunged at them while they were executing a no-knock search warrant early Wednesday. Barnstable and Yarmouth Police went to 245A Mitchell's Way about 6 AM Wednesday morning.
38-year old Suzanne Ireland, her sons 17-year old Sean Ireland, and his 14-year old brother were arrested on a battery of drug charges as was Sean's girlfriend 18-year old Carly Schofield. Three other juvenile kids at the residence were taken into D.S.S. custody. The condition of the home was reportedly so bad officials had to condemn it. Further details were not immediately available.
The 14-year-old, who was found with a cellophane bag with a Vicodin and four Percocet pills, also said his mother gave him the medication, according to police reports.
Sgt. Sweeney of the Barnstable Police said conditions inside were abhorrent, with a maggot-infested hamburger sitting in a pan on the stove and a long, sticky fly strip clogged with so many insects that none of the tape was visible. The home, strewn with garbage, also contained live-feed video cameras trained on the driveway according to Sweeney.
