New Hartford Man Found Dead in Maine Lake

Maine authorities are investigating the death of an 87-year-old New Hartford man who was found floating in a lake in Raymond.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Department said William Prouty’s wife found him around 9:25 a.m. Thursday. The family owns a seasonal home on a small island in the lake.

Officials said Prouty left the island to meet a maintenance worker on the mainland. His  wife found his body after he didn't return.

The death is not considered suspicious. The cause and manner of death will be determined by the medical examiner's office.
