ROCKPORT, Mass. — The person who died in a weekend boating accident off the coast of Massachusetts has been identified as a New Hampshire man.
Police said Monday that 58-year-old Paul Nadeau, of Kingston, New Hampshire, died after a large wave overturned the boat during a fishing trip off Rockport on Sunday.
Authorities say Nadeau and a 59-year-old man ended up in the water. Nadeau was pulled from the water, and the other man was rescued from a nearby island by a Coast Guard helicopter.
Rockport Harbormaster Rosemary Lesch says the conditions on the water were difficult that day, and an offshore swell created 10- to 15-foot (3- to 4-meter) waves.
The second man was hospitalized and is expected to survive. His name has not been released.
