Divers recover body of a Lawrence man who fell in Sudbury River
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- Divers have recovered the body of a Lawrence man who fell into the frigid Sudbury River from the nearby Massachusetts Turnpike.
A spokesman for Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said Monday the remains of Samuel Githiabii were found about a quarter mile from where he fell into the river.
Corey Welford says it appears the 30-year-old man had pulled over due to an undisclosed medical problem that he was experiencing Sunday night.
His vehicle hit the guardrail before he got out of the car and fell into the river.
Other passengers were in the car. Investigators don't believe foul play was involved.
