Paul Simpson, 84, died at Maine Medical Center a day after the crash, which investigators say was caused by inattention and drivers following each other too closely.

‘It’s not considered suspicious,’ a Royal Canadian Mounted Police official says of the death, but he won’t confirm whether the body is that of missing Maine lobsterman Dana Moy.

But one is unresponsive when they are brought ashore by people on Hills Beach who heard their calls for help.
