Pittsfield Man Drowns In Pontoosuc Lake
The Fire Department was called to the scene after reports of the body in the water.
According to the district attorney's office, Charles Frambach, of nearby Pinehurst Avenue, was declared dead at the scene from an apparent drowning.
The Fire Department was called around 9:15 a.m. for a report of a body in the water.
Shortly after arriving, the body was pulled from the lake using a small boat ramp on Route 7 near Hancock Road.
Police remained at the boat ramp for some time after Frambach was removed.
An autopsy will be performed Friday morning by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Holyoke. Investigators do not believe foul play was involved at this time.
