1t is now believed that Fred Sands of
Sebec, whose death al Upper Roach pond
from falling from a canoe was reported
week ago. did not die from drowning al
all, but was dead before he left the canoe.
Edward Lannigan was on the lake in a
boat at the time Sands met his death,
ana was SO near that he could have heard
his cries for help if he had made any.
Lanngan was back to Sands. so he did
not see the accident when the canoe
tipped over. He thinks that Sands died
from rheumatism of the heart, as he had
so that he was unable to attend to his
work.
