NH Marine Patrol was contacted at 0932 hours on May 2, 2009, regarding an overturned boat on Lake Winnipesaukee.  Two Marine Patrol officers responded to the scene.  A Dunkin Donuts receipt bearing a time stamp from that morning indicated that there had been at least one occupant of the boat.  NH Marine Patrol and Fish and Game conducted a search of the area in which the boat was found, which yielded some personal effects, including a tackle box.  Eventually two bodies were located in the vicinity, in about 25 feet of water.  The cause of death for each fatality was determined to be drowning.  While one PFD was found in the boat, neither of the deceased parties were wearing PFDs.
