A South Portland man drowned Sunday after falling into the Saco River at Pleasant Point Park in Buxton. Buxton police say a woman witnessed 38-year-old Abiodun Jerry Roland Olubi fall into the river off a slippery rock outcrop at around 2:15 p.m. A dive team from the Maine Warden Service later found Olubi’s body at a depth of 50 feet. In August 2019, a 17-year-old Freeport High School student drowned at Pleasant Point Park. “We would like to remind visitors to Pleasant Point Park that the Saco River is very deep in this area. We want everyone to have fun and enjoy the park and river but do it safely,” Buxton police said.
