Authorities responded to a report of a boat accident in New London County on Saturday, Aug. 20, and found a center console adrift off the Stonington shoreline, a Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) spokesperson said.
Two men, identified as 54-year-old David Motherway, of Stonington, and 52-year-old Brian Collie, of Littleton, Colorado, were pronounced dead at the scene, the DEEP spokesperson reported.
