From the Providence Journal:
Mass. man dies in water while fishing in Middletown
MIDDLETOWN -- A 36-year-old man was swept away by a wave and died yesterday after slipping while fishing on the rocks at Sachuest Point.
Khammone Davannavong, of Fiske Street, Southbridge, Mass., was floating face down in the water when the police and fire departments responded at about 12:15 p.m., according to the police.
Davannavong had been fishing with friend Sombath Sivilay, also of Southbridge, on the east side of the point. Sivilay told the police that Davannavong had caught a fish which came off the hook when he pulled it in to the rocks. Sivilay said, according to the police, that Davannavong went to retrieve the fish when he slipped and was swept into the water by a wave.
The police said that waves were about four feet high and there was about a half-mile of visibility when they arrived.
Sivilay tried to save Davannavong, the police said, by extending his fishing pole, but the pole came apart and Davannavong was carried farther out by the next wave.
The police said Davannavong probably became exhausted trying to swim back to the rocks. Two other fishermen heard the cries for help, the police said, but were too late to help.
Firefighters Mark Wilkey and Glenn Williams used an inflatable boat to reach Davannavong, who was about 100 feet out from the shore when they arrived.
