Bourne police and fire crews responding about 5:20 p.m. to a report of a swimmer in distress in the waters off 379 Circuit Ave. found a bystander who had pulled a man in his 50s from the water and was administering CPR, according to a press release issued by the Bourne Police Department Thursday night.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
