A Clinton, Maryland, man drown Saturday afternoon near the Cove Point Lighthouse, the same location where two other men lost their lives recently.
Calvert County Sheriff’s deputies and emergency medical services responded to a report of a person in the water near the lighthouse. Members of the Solomons volunteer fire department arrived by boat and pulled the victim from the water.
The victim was taken to shore and transported to the Calvert Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators said the victim and a friend walked out to the point, and the victim decided to go in the water. A short time later, the victim called for help, and his friend was unable to reach him due to the swift current.
The victim has been identified as Michael Stanley Oliver, 57, of Clinton, Maryland.
This is the same area where two brothers, Doug and Daniel Brown, drown last week.
