Two people died over the weekend as a result of separate boating accidents in Cecil County waters.
The deaths, one on Friday in Chesapeake City and one on Saturday south of North East, were the 10th and 11th boating fatalities in Maryland this year.
The first occurred just before 8:30 p.m. on Friday night in the mooring basin in Chesapeake City. Maryland Natural Resources Police said Robert Vernon Baron, 27, of Bear, fell into the water as he attempted to jump from a boat to a pier near the Chesapeake Inn.
Two of Baron's shipmates jumped into the water to help but could not rescue him.
Divers from the Susquehanna Hose Company of Havre de Grace pulled Baron's body from the water at approximately 10:15 p.m. His body will be autopsied by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore.
