ALTON — Marine Patrol has identified the man who drowned in Gilman Pond on Wednesday as Raymond Tam, a 66-year-old from Malden, Massachusetts.
Tam was fishing with 67-year-old Mo Wong, of Portsmouth, on Wednesday, when Tam felt a fish bite his line. He fell out of the boat when he attempted to set the hook. Wong remained in the canoe but was unable to save Tam, and called 911 at about 10:50 a.m. Divers from the New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game located Tam's body at around 6 p.m. that evening. His identity was withheld until Friday morning so that authorities could notify his family.
An earlier account had incorrectly reported the drowned man's age as 67, and the survivor's age as 66.
