LAMOINE — Maine State Police say a Florida woman was found dead in a rental car that was submerged in the ocean in the town of Lamoine.

Police say someone reported the car in the ocean at about 6:45 a.m. Sunday.

Investigators believe 48-year-old Joann Boardman of Palm Coast, Fla., drove her vehicle off Route 184 and into the ocean after a family wedding reception. Police say she was headed to her hotel but drove in the wrong direction.

WMTW-TV says Boardman was not familiar with the area where the paved road ends at the ocean’s edge.
