Elderly Hooksett Man Dies On Lake Winnipesaukee: NH Marine Patrol

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol is investigating the death of a man from Hooksett on Sunday on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Around 6 a.m., marine patrol received a call about a boater who was believed to be operating recklessly in Alton Bay. The boat was described as a 14-foot outboard open-style fishing boat that was driving in a couple of fast circles.

“Shortly, thereafter, it came to a stop and was adrift,” Amber Lagace, a public information officer for the department, said. “A good Samaritan boater, who was in the area, approached the vessel and found the single occupant, an elderly male, unresponsive. The good Samaritan called for help, flagged down first responders, and assisted in securing the boat.”

The man, Donald Longhi, 76, of Hooksett, was taken to Concord Hospital-Laconia and pronounced dead.

The cause of the incident is under investigation. Assisting marine patrol was the Alton Fire Department.

Anyone who witnessed it or has further information is asked to contact New Hampshire State Police-Marine Patrol Sgt. Nicholas Haroutunian at Nicholas.M.Haroutunian@dos.nh.gov or 603-227-2112.
