LISBON

Police have released the name of a Lisbon Falls woman whose body was recovered at a private pond over the weekend.

Police say the drowning death Carol Plourde, 61,was accidental.

Police were called to the small pond off Potter Road at 6 p.m. Sunday and located Plourde’s body.

Members of the Maine Game Wardens and Maine State Police responded to the scene to assist in the investigation.  

Plourde’s identity had initially been withheld pending notification of her family.

An autopsy took place Monday, at which point the state medical examiner determined that Plourde had drowned, said Lisbon Police Chief Marc Hagan.

Hagan said the incident was accidental.

Plourde didn’t live at the property where her body was found, but had permission to be there and would often take walks on the property, according to Hagan.

At this time, pending any new information, the case is closed, the chief said. However if anyone does have information related to the case, they should still contact Sgt. Bill Tapley at the Lisbon Police Department at (207) 353-2500.
