PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 4, 2020
Maine game wardens expect to resume their search Tuesday morning for a Hollis man who is presumed to have drowned after the canoe he was in flipped over on Estes Lake in Sanford. Kenneth Ham, 56, was in the bow of the boat when he turned around to adjust his 8-year-old son’s life jacket, a movement that caused the canoe to flip over around 4:30 p.m. Monday. A witness on the shore called 911. Rescue personnel saved Ham’s friend and the boy, who were both clinging to the canoe. The boy was wearing the life jacket. The boy and the other fisherman were in the water for about 35 minutes. Rescuers were unable to find Ham before dark and suspended their search.
