Rescuers recovered the body of a 26-year-old Millis man yesterday
morning who apparently drowned in an ice-cold Norfolk lake after
taking a late-night boat ride.
Three men had been canoeing late Friday night on Populatic Lake
when their boat capsized, according to Norfolk Fire Chief Coleman C.
Bushnell. Two of the men survived and swam to shore. They were
treated and refused additional medical help.
Anthony Melaragni's body was found in water 8 feet deep about 50
feet from the shore yesterday morning.
"One of the men said he could hear his friend behind him, and when
he turned around his friend was gone," Bushnell said.
