MILLINOCKET, Maine — A boy died Wednesday after he fell off the end of a dock while fishing, according to the Piscataquis County Sheriff's Office.
The 5-year-old from southern Maine was fishing with his family at Ambajejus Lake in T1 R9, a township just northwest of Millinocket and south of Baxter State Park.
The boy reportedly fell into the lake around 2 p.m., Sheriff Robert Young told NEWS CENTER Maine.
The boy's father and other EMTs attempted CPR and other life-saving measures on their way to a nearby hospital, but the boy did not survive, the sheriff said.
No other information was released as of Thursday morning.
The map featured in the broadcast clip misspelled Ambajejus Lake. NEWS CENTER Maine is working to correct the misspelling.
