Well, he ain't doing well now.

WARWICK, RI — First responders Wednesday at around 7 a.m. responded to the beach at the end of Nausauket Road for a body found floating 50 yards offshore in Greenwich Bay.

The Warwick Fire Department retrieved the male victim and brought him to shore. James D. Kimball, 49, of the Nausauket area of Warwick, was pronounced dead at Kent County Memorial Hospital, Warwick Police Capt. Ryan Sornberger said in a news release.

Witnesses in the area reported that the man was previously seen digging for quahogs.

The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner. However, the incident does not appear to be suspicious, Sornberger said.

IMO it was more likely that the poor guy had a heart attack. Pulling a rake is hard work. I dug in cold waters on days that were below freezing, on the Cape, and in neoprene waders, the problem wasn't staying warm.

I agree with Mike P. Our phys ed teacher down in Westerly died quahoaging in Winnapaug Pond. Waders, current, drowned; and if I recall correctly had a heart attack while digging in waist deep water. This in the late 60's. Needless to say in great shape.
