A man may have suffered a fatal medical event Thursday evening along Interstate 295 in Freeport, according to the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Freeport police, fire and rescue personnel responded around 4:15 p.m. to reports of a man pulled over near mile marker 19 who had blood on his face and was trying to flag down assistance, said spokeswoman Shannon Moss.
“A passing motorist stopped and began CPR on the male, who had become unresponsive,” Moss said in a statement. “The male did not recover and was pronounced deceased on scene by Freeport Rescue.”
Maine state troopers and detectives joined the investigation and determined after speaking with family members that the male may have experienced a medical event, Moss said. The body will be transported to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta for an autopsy.
Moss said no further information, including the man’s name, would be released Thursday.
