What happened to Dylan Chretien & Nicholas Centofanti?
On Wednesday, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is looking into the scene of a fatal collision. Following an automobile accident in Casco, Maine, Dylan Chretien, 19, of Bridgton, passed away.
A second man, identified as 20-year-old Nick Centofanti, was taken to Maine Medical Centre in severe condition, according to law authorities.
The 20-year-old’s parents declared that their son was brain dead and that they would say their final goodbyes a few hours after the catastrophe.
It breaks my heart to inform you all that my son Nick Centofanti is brain-dead. My heart is saddened as we say goodbye, but I appreciate your support.
Three individuals in their late teens or early 20s were reported to be in the second automobile by Cumberland County officials.
