James B. Wescott, a retired Colby College track and field coach, from Camden, Maine, died on Tuesday.
The Maine Warden Service recovered his body on Tuesday night from Megunticook Lake
Wardens say the 71-year-old was in a single person sculling boat around 8 a.m. when he fell into the water and failed to resurface.
Those racing shells can be tippy, and they are so small and narrow I have to imagine it would be hard to get back onto one once you’re in the drink. Also this time of year the water is still VERY cold, so death from exposure, or cramping due to the cold is VERY possible.
Still, not a “Gun Death”.
