State officials have identified the 50-year-old Stamford man who died in a boating accident on Lake Waramaug near the Kent, Washington and Warren town lines on Sunday as Ihor Korol, 50, of Stamford.
Korol and a 31pyear-old Stamford man, fell off the 12-foot fishing boat, according to officials from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Crews responded to the lake at 11:15 a.m. and rescued the 31-year-old man, who was transported to New Milford Hospital to be treated for mild hypothermia.
