Local fishing expert, columnist found dead in Weekapaug

Westerly — Timothy A. Coleman, a well-known author, writer and expert on fishing — specifically surf-casting — was found dead Thursday morning on the "sand trail" in the Weekapaug section of town.

Coleman, 65, wrote a weekly saltwater fishing column for The Day for more than a decade. He split his time between Westerly and the Florida Keys.
Police said Coleman was found on the shore of an inland pond with his fishing gear around 9:47 a.m. on the "sand trail" off of Spray Rock Road. Police said Coleman's death does not appear suspicious. The state medical examiner will conduct an autopsy, police said
