PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 9, 2021
The Maine Warden Service is urging greater caution when swimming and boating after as many as five deaths by drowning have occurred in the state in recent days. On Wednesday evening the warden service announced that it was searching for an Oregon man who may have drowned in Swan Lake in Swanville and could be the sixth person to have drowned in Maine since Sunday. Lt. Jason Luce of the warden service said, “The water’s cold this time of year, don’t swim beyond your capabilities, and if you’re on a boat, wear a life jacket.”
