MEREDITH — State Police Marine Patrol officers are investigating the death of an adult male on Lake Winnipesaukee.
Just after 4 p.m. on Thursday, Marine Patrol officers received a report of an ongoing water rescue near Pinnacle Park Road. Officers responded and assisted members of emergency services with lifesaving efforts on a 31-year-old male who was pulled from the water.
The man, who hasn’t been publicly identified, was transported to Concord Hospital-Laconia where he was later pronounced dead.
Marine Patrol officers, based on their preliminary investigation, believe the deceased was working in the water when he experienced a medical incident, falling face down into the water. His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Meredith police and fire and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner assisted Marine Patrol.
Anyone with additional information that may assist the ongoing investigation is asked to contact Marine Patrol Officer Phil Hackmann at 603-293-2037 or William.P.Hackmann@dos.nh.gov.
