Man rescued after two days stuck in Bourne marsh

A 41-year-old man was rescued from a muddy marsh behind a Sagamore Beach home in Bourne after being trapped for two days. The rescue operation began when the homeowner finally heard his cries for help and called 911. Rescuers faced significant challenges as they navigated through thick brush to reach the stranded individual. Bourne Interim Fire Chief David Pelonzi noted that while the area where the man was located was dry, the dense vegetation made access difficult. Upon reaching the man, rescuers wrapped him in a blanket and transported him on a stretcher to an ambulance. He was then taken to Tobey Hospital for evaluation. The circumstances leading to his entrapment remain unclear, as neighbors indicated that the area is private access and not frequently visited. This raises questions about how he ended up in such a remote location. The incident has sparked an investigation to determine the events that led to the man's predicament. Firefighters expressed relief that the rescue was successful despite the challenging conditions. The dramatic nature of the rescue, captured on video, highlights the risks involved in such operations and the importance of community awareness regarding safety in secluded areas. As the investigation unfolds, it will be crucial to gather more information about the man's situation prior to his rescue. Understanding how he became trapped may help prevent similar incidents in the future and ensure that emergency services are prepared for such challenging rescues.
