Narragansett man was electrocuted on boat

PROVIDENCE -- A Narragansett man found dead on his sport fishing boat Monday night was electrocuted, the state medical examiners office said today in announcing his cause of death.

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, according to state authorities investigating the death.

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

The specific cause of death was "low voltage electrocution."
