A boating accident on Flagstaff Lake in Eustis on Saturday claimed the life of a third New York woman. Noor Nasir, 22, of Selden, New York, died Tuesday night at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center. At approximately 1:30 p.m. Saturday, seven people were boating in the upper reaches of Flagstaff Lake in a pontoon boat. The boat was underway near Cathedral Pines Campground when the bow started to go under. The driver, John Morris, 50, of Eustis, attempted to raise the bow, but the boat flipped, throwing all seven passengers into the water about 180 feet from shore. Witnesses rushed to assist those in the boat, and were able to get all seven to shore. No one in the boat was wearing a lifejacket.
