Chadd Brewin, 33, had been fishing on Cobbosseecontee Stream in West Gardiner with his father-in-law, 67-year-old Claude Latouche on Monday when Brewin fell over the side of the boat. His father-in-law held onto Brewin while steering the boat back to shore. When Latouche got close to the shoreline, the boat capsized and he also fell into the water. Latouche was able to get both himself and Brewin to shore, before calling 911. Brewin was still alive when emergency medical services arrived and provided medical aid. Brewin was transported to Maine General, where he later died.
