QUINCY (AP) — A Quincy man has died after falling in the water after he and a friend had checked lobster traps.
Police say 72-year-old Pat Walsh fell into the water while getting into a dinghy at about 3 p.m. Thursday off the city's Squantum neighborhood.
The other man, 45-year-old Tim Sheehan, jumped in for a rescue attempt.
Walsh was pronounced dead about an hour later.
Rescuers performed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on Walsh and both men were taken to Quincy Medical Center.
Sheehan was treated for shock and hypothermia and is reported in good condition.
A relative tells The Patriot Ledger (http://bit.ly/SurMlh ) that Walsh is a retired carpenter.
