CENTRAL MAINE • August 27, 2025
Robert Gary, 66, of Oakland, was apparently swimming after his floating boat in Ellis Pond (aka Salmon Lake) on Wednesday when he went under and never resurfaced. Rescue personnel were able to recover the body in about 4 feet of water, about 30 yards to 40 yards from shore. They attempted to revive him with CPR, but Gary was unresponsive and died at the scene.
