Man Pulled From Wakeby Pond in Mashpee and Taken to Hospital

Officials say the Cape and Islands district attorney does not suspect foul play as authorities await updates on the patient’s condition.

Overview

  • Mashpee firefighters responded to a call about a person who went under at Wakeby Pond and pulled an unidentified man from the water.
  • The rescued man was transported to a local hospital and his medical condition has not been released by officials.
  • The Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office told reporters the incident does not appear suspicious according to initial statements.
  • The Mashpee Fire Department and local emergency medical services were the primary responders and are the main sources for further information.
  • Wakeby Pond is a public pond near Main Street in Mashpee and local officials note that summer months typically bring more water-related rescues, so authorities stress follow-up updates will come from the hospital or investigators.
