Shortly before 2:00 PM (Aug. 24) this afternoon, Edward Kimball, 24, of Manchester, Maine drowned following a swimming-related incident off Pond Road near the outlet of Cobbosseecontee Lake.
Maine Game wardens say Kimball may have suffered health related complications while swimming. The incident did not involve a watercraft.
Kimball’s body was recovered quickly in eight feet of water and about 40 feet from shore. Lifesaving measures were performed by first responders, but efforts were unsuccessful.
