Woman Charged In Lake Winnipesaukee Teen Drowning

A woman is facing charges in connection with a 17-year-old boy’s drowning in Lake Winnipesaukee last year.

Authorities say 50-year-old Buffy Ann Doyle gave alcohol to the teen and allowed him to enter the water while intoxicated.

Investigators say the teen entered the lake to retrieve a bag that fell overboard before drowning near Diamond Island and Rattlesnake Island.

Doyle has pleaded not guilty to charges including negligent homicide and is due back in court next month.
