A 64-year-old Canadian man was found dead at Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, N.H., on Sunday afternoon, according to New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol.
Marine Patrol received a report of a possible drowning on Minister Island just after 1 p.m. on Sunday. When officers arrived on the scene, members of emergency services had pulled Jason Lin, of British Columbia, Canada, out of the water.
Officers assisted with lifesaving efforts, but Lin remained unresponsive. He was transported to Concord Hospital in Laconia and later pronounced deceased.
A preliminary investigation by Marine Patrol suggested that Lin had been swimming in the lake when he went underwater from exhaustion and failed to resurface.
The Moultonborough police and fire departments, the Meredith Fire Department and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner provided assistance.
Members of the public who have additional information about the ongoing investigation should contact Marine Patrol Officer Phil Hackmann at (603) 293-2037 or William.P.Hackmann@dos.nh.gov.barmstrong@cmonitor.com
