GLOUCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Two more people have apparently drowned in Massachusetts.
A Bedford man reported missing was found dead Tuesday in a pond in a wooded area of Gloucester. Police say 49-year-old Sergei Samoylenko's death is not considered suspicious but are awaiting the results of an autopsy.
Samoylenko, described by police as an avid outdoorsman, was reported missing after he failed to show up for a scheduled visit at his mother's Gloucester home and his pickup truck was found alongside Route 128 on Monday.
Police in Becket say an out-of-state man in his 60s or 70s apparently drowned in Greenwater Pond on Tuesday. That death also appears to be an accident. The victim's name was not made public.
The Berkshire Eagle reports the man appears to have been swimming alone.
Becket Police, assisted by state police assigned to the Berkshire District Attorney's office, are seeking witnesses as they continue to investigate the drowning.
