Body of Missing Readsboro Man Found
READSBORO, Vt. — A missing Readsboro man was found inside his car, down an embankment in Whitingham.
Harold Lavanway, 73, was reported missing by family on Sunday. He was last seen on Friday at approximately 10 p.m. by a neighbor traveling south toward the Monroe Bridge area in Massachusetts.
His gray 2011 Honda Civic was discovered off Tunnel Street in Whitingham early Monday morning and State Police were notified. They confirmed that Lavanway was in the vehicle and deceased.
Initial investigation by VSP shows that Lavanway was northbound on Tunnel Street and navigated a lefthand curve in the roadway. As the roadway straightened, he veered off the northbound shoulder, coming to a position of rest about 10 feet down a steep embankment. The time of this crash is currently unknown.
Lavanway's body will be transported to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
Troopers ask that anyone with information about this incident call the Shaftsbury Barracks at 802-442-5421. This investigation is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.
