Vermont State Police vehicle. VSP photoThe body of a man was recovered Monday morning from Rood Pond in Williamstown, after what Vermont State Police described as a presumed drowning. The incident does not appear suspicious, police said. Steven Jones, a 30-year-old Brookfield resident, had been duck-hunting on the pond Sunday afternoon when his kayak capsized, according to police. Witnesses “heard yelling from the pond” and saw the overturned kayak, police said. Authorities were notified of the incident just after 5:30 p.m. Sunday, but it took until Monday morning for a state police team to locate and recover Jones’ body. He had been dressed warmly but was not wearing a life jacket, according to the report. The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington was expected to perform an autopsy. Read the story on VTDigger here: Brookfield man dies in presumed drowning at Williamstown pond .
