BROOKS - Country View Golf Club co-owner Carl Brown died Thursday
morning in what police are calling an accidental drowning.
Brown, 75, was in his personal water truck Thursday around 8:45
a.m. and was filling it with a friend on one of the course's ponds,
state police Trooper Eric Verhille said. When Brown tried to turn
the truck around, he drove a little too far and the truck slid down

"By the time we could locate his body, he had been submerged for
approximately 20 to 25 minutes," Verhille said.
Rescue workers started CPR, but he didn't make it, Verhille said.
