CASCO, Maine (AP) Maine authorities say a 37-year-old Brunswick man died while being towed on a tube behind a pontoon boat on Sebago Lake.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife reports that Corey Wilcox was not wearing a life jacket and water conditions were rough when he was being towed at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday on New Place Cove near Point Sebago in the town of Casco.

The boat stopped and the passengers entered the water to help Wilcox after he showed signs of medical distress.

People in another boat in the vicinity also rendered aid and pulled Wilcox aboard, but lifesaving measures were unsuccessful.
