Nathan Carman to Hold Private Memorial Service for Mother: Report

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Middletown native Nathan Carman will hold a private memorial service for his mother Linda Carman, who is presumed dead after being lost at sea last month, at an undisclosed location, according to the Hartford Courant.

The Courant reports that a service had been scheduled for Wednesday morning in West Hartford, but was canceled over the weekend and will be held instead at an undisclosed location.

Linda Carman, 54, was last seen with Nathan when they left Ram's Point Marina in Point Judith on Sept. 18 for a fishing trip on a 31-foot aluminum center console boat, the Chicken Pox.

The boat sank and Nathan Carman, 22, was rescued from a lift raft by the Orient Lucky freighter after being lost at sea for more than a week. The U.S. Coast Guard had called off a massive search for the pair on Sept. 23 and Linda Carman is presumed dead.

The Courant reports that Linda Carman’s sisters have put out a statement that they had nothing to do with planning the service and question the need for it since there is still an active police investigation surrounding their sister’s disappearance.
