MILFORD — Police have identified a man who drowned in the waters off Point Beach on Friday afternoon.
Just before 3 p.m. Friday afternoon police were called to the beach area at the end of Platt Street by witnesses who watched a fully clothed man sit on the beach for a while, and then get up and walk into the water. A short time later, they noticed the man floating face-down in the water. They got help and managed to drag him out of the water. Fire dispatchers guided the bystanders through CPR until paramedics arrived. The victim was taken to Milford Hospital where he later died.
Early Saturday morning Milford police identified the man as Gregory Wilson, age 57. They say he most recently resided in Milford. The Office of the State Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.
