The Gorham Police Department on Monday released the name of a Scarborough man found dead last Friday on a trail near the Presumpscot River in a rural, northerly area of Gorham.

Gorham Sgt. Daniel Young identified the man as Charles Jerome, 55, of 14 Spring St. Young said Monday there is no evidence of foul play, but police are waiting for an autopsy report from the Maine Medical Examiner’s Office in Augusta.

“The cause of death is pending,” a spokeswoman at the Medical Examiner’s Office said on Monday.

Police have been in contact with the man’s family.

“He has had a medical history,” Young said, and added Jerome had not been feeling well.

Officer Dean Hannon of Gorham Police Department assisted Young in the investigation of the Nov. 27 unattended death. Young said police first noticed the man’s vehicle parked at 9:30 a.m. at a turnaround near Babb’s Covered Bridge on Gorham’s Hurricane Road.

Young said Jerome had walked into the woods on a footpath. Police believe Jerome collapsed and died and his body was discovered by a family walking the trail later Friday.

Young characterized the death as most likely a “medical event.”

The Presumpscot River in that area separates the towns of Gorham and Windham.
