Officials: Death of Teen Fisherman Not Suspicious

RAINBOW TOWNSHIP, Maine - The Maine Warden Service is investigating the death of an 18-year-old while fishing in Rainbow Township.

The state medical examiner's office says the death of Darren Clement of Medford isn't considered to be suspicious. A spokesman said an autopsy was conducted Tuesday but no results were released pending further tests.

Wardens say Clement failed to reunite Sunday with a cousin and uncle who were fishing at different locations.

The family searched the stream before calling for assistance. Wardens found his body submerged in the water after a tracking dog located some of his fishing gear alongside a creek.
