Narragansett man found dead on his boat

NARRAGANSETT -- A Narragansett man was found dead last night aboard his sport fishing boat, state authorities said this morning.

William H. Carr, 47, of 14 Perriwinkle Road, was found by his 10-year-old son, who rode his bike to the dock in Galilee when his father hadn't returned home when expected, said Steven Hall, chief of the division of law enforcement for the state Department of Environmental Management.

Hall doesn't believe the death is suspicious, but the state medical examiner's office will perform an autopsy today to determine a cause of death.

Carr was last seen yesterday at about 11 a.m., when he went to a nearby marina to buy some parts for his boat, the 42-foot "Ashley."

The local fire department pronounced him dead at about 6:30, Hall said.
