WOLCOTT — A man died after being pulled from a reservoir Sunday afternoon.
Wolcott Chief Police Edward Stevens said police responded after two people fell into the water from their kayaks at Scoville Reservoir. He said the woman had reached out to hand the man in another kayak a sandwich when the man suffered from some sort of medical distress and fell into the water.
Officers arriving on the scene jumped into the water and found a woman. Her fiance, was not found immediately. The chief said he was in his late 40s.
The fire department and regional dive team were called. The man was found unresponsive about an hour later and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
