I can update this from what I have now confirmed...

The person who died was a long time resident of Welch Island. He was a neighbor about 5 camps from me. For many years he has been caring for someone with special needs.

From what I was told from someone at the scene, the accident occurred when the special needs person they believe had a heart attack at the dock and fell in the water. The other person, who was a senior and in very poor health, jumped in to try and save him and had a heart attack and never regained consciousness.

I do not want to mention any names as they have not been made public and out of respect for the family.

This is a very sad and tragic accident.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families involved...

Dan
