Father Dies While Fishing

A father who drowned while fishing in a lake with his children may have had a seizure before falling into the water, said an owner of a Hammonton campground where the man perished.

Aurimas Kleinauskas, 25, of Philadelphia, died Sunday after he fell over a dam at Paradise Lake Campground.

Police Sgt. Mike Fiorentino said Kleinauskas' two children alerted family members to their father's fall. The names and ages of the children were not released Sunday.

Fiorentino said their father was in the water from 10 to 20 minutes before being pulled out.

Family members said Kleinauskas had epilespy, according to Tony Robideau, co-owner of the campground.

"He might have had a seizure and went over," Robideau told The Press of Atlantic City.

Police on Sunday did not confirm whether Kleinauskas had epilespy.

A call to the Hammonton Police Department on Monday was not immediately returned.
