Climber, 68, dies in 1,000 foot fall in Baxter State Park
http://bangordailynews.com/2017/02/20/news/state/climber-68-dies-in-1000-foot-fall-in-baxter-state-park/BAXTER STATE PARK, Maine — A 68-year-old Holden man died Saturday after falling more than 1,000 feet down the icy surface of the Abol Slide in the park, according to a press release issued Monday.
Though Park Director Jenson Bissell saId it is park policy not to release the name of the deceased, Brookings-Smith Funeral Home in Bangor confirmed Monday that it is handling arrangements for John H. Stetson.
Stetson owned a small transport company that operated out of Mann Hill Road in Holden, according to several trucking industry websites.
The victim had been camping at Daicey Pond Campground with a larger group, Bissell said in the release.
