POMFRET — A man was pronounced dead on scene after being located in the Quinebaug River area Sunday, according to a DEEP spokesperson.

Officials identified the man as 58-year-old Putnam resident Michael Lowell, DEEP spokesperson Will Healey said in an email.

Police were responding to “a report of a missing kayaker and a submerged kayak with no occupant” Sunday, according to Healey. A man found without a life jacket on was pronounced dead on scene, Healey wrote.

“DEEP continues to advise people getting on the water to wear a life jacket any time of the year,” Healey wrote. “Through May 30th, it is mandatory to wear a life jacket if operating a paddlecraft.”
