BOURNE, Mass. – A man has died after being pulled from the water in the Cape Cod Canal in Bourne early Sunday morning, authorities said.
The man, who has not been identified, was pulled from the water by a good Samaritan and then taken by ambulance to Falmouth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Massachusetts Environmental Police.
Emergency crews were called to the Barlow landing craft ramp at 10:30 a.m. Sunday for a “Priority 1,” which is the most serious and highest priority emergency, said Sunday Bourne Deputy Fire Chief Joe Carrara.
When fire paramedics arrived, they brought a patient who had been taken to the landing by boat to Falmouth Hospital, Carrara said.
Environmental police are investigating, police said.
Additional details were not immediately available.
The death in Bourne was the second water-related death reported in the region in less than 24 hours.
Late Friday night, a boater’s body was recovered from Fiske Pond in Natick.
