WARWICK A 49-year-old Warwick man, who had been digging for quahogs, was pronounced dead Wednesday morning after his body was recovered from Greenwich Bay, authorities said.
James D. Kimball, a resident of the Nausauket section, had been digging in a beach area at the end of Nausauket Road, said Warwick police detective Capt. Ryan Sornberger.
Police and firefighters went to the area around 7 a.m. and found Kimball s body floating about 50 yards offshore, Sornberger said.
Police are waiting for the results of an autopsy but the cause of death does not appear to be suspicious, Sornberger said.
Witnesses had earlier seen Kimball digging for quahogs, according to the police.
