Firefighters: Man Dies In Apparent Fishing Trip Accident
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- State police say a man who went on a fishing trip in Maryland has died.
Maryland Natural Resources Police tell news outlets 50-year-old Melquicedec Coreas-Gomez and his two friends had gone fishing at Sandy Point State Park and pulled into a beach boat ramp Friday night. The Glen Burnie resident stayed with the boat while the two men went to get their truck and trailer.
Police spokeswoman Candy Thomson says Coreas-Gomez was gone when his friends returned, and they called 911. Anne Arundel County Fire Department divers found Coreas-Gomez in the water.
Fire Lt. Jennifer McKee says he died at a hospital and that it seemed like an accident.
Thomson says all three men had been drinking, and that Coreas-Gomez could not swim and was not wearing a life jacket.
