A man who died after falling from a boat off the coast of Newburyport Tuesday afternoon has been identified as 64-year-old Pembroke, New Hampshire, resident Edward Kinney, according to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
On Sept. 30 around 3:45 p.m., Newburyport police and firefighters received a 911 call reporting that a person had fallen off a boat five miles from shore and was in need of medical attention, the police department said previously.
People on the boat performed CPR on Kinney while ferrying him to a private dock on Plum Island Point, police said. First-responders were waiting at the dock when they arrived and took over life-saving efforts, and he was taken to a Anna Jacques Hospital in critical condition.
No further information about the incident has been released.
