Authorities believe 64-year-old Jason Lin became exhausted while swimming and slipped underwater Sunday afternoon.
A Canadian man died Sunday following an apparent drowning at Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire.
New Hampshire State Police said Marine Patrol responded to a report of a possible drowning on Minister Island shortly after 1 p.m. Officers arrived and assisted in lifesaving efforts on a man who had been pulled from the water, later identified as Jason Lin, 64, of British Columbia.
Lin was rushed to Concord Hospital-Laconia, where he was later pronounced dead.
“Based on the preliminary investigation, Marine Patrol officers believe Lin was swimming in the lake when he appeared to become exhausted, went underwater, and did not resurface,” State Police explained in a news release.
