Hampden school must contend with grief, rumors

HAMPDEN, Maine — Friday was another solemn day at Hampden Academy as students and faculty continued to deal with the death of Nathan Clark, a student whose body was found Thursday afternoon near a remote gravel pit.

Local police have released few details about the 17-year-old boy’s death or the circumstances surrounding it, even as rumors have ramped up in the community.

Hampden Academy Principal Ruey Yehle said one of the biggest challenges for school administrators and teachers has been to rein in the litany of unconfirmed information.

“First of all, I would say that the police have been great and have given us what they know is true,” Yehle said.

“But there is still lots of information we don’t have. Human nature tends to be that, if there is a void, people will fill it.”

The principal said all staff members were given a script Friday detailing confirmed information from police. The boy had run away from home. He had been missing for five days. He reportedly did not contact anyone during that time. He was found near a gravel pit off Back Winterport Road. The cause of death has not been released.

An autopsy on Clark’s body was done Friday at the State Medical Examiner’s Officer in Augusta.

An official determination on the cause of Clark’s death, however, has not been made, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office said later Friday afternoon. The results are pending additional investigation, including a toxicology report.

“It’s a process,” Yehle said. “Everything isn’t instantaneous, but at the same time it’s hard to wait.”

While her staff is working to dispel rumors, Yehle said if students do have credible information about Clark’s death, they should go forward to police. In the meantime, counselors, psychologists, clergy members and others have been and will continue to be made available at Hampden Academy for as long as is necessary.

“We’ve provided a whole lot of support for students who want it,” Yehle said. “It’s been a day for kids to gather together and talk, or to keep doing their thing, if that’s how they want to deal [with it]. We’ve been very flexible.”

Several Hampden Academy students and recent graduates have died tragically in the last few years, some in car accidents, some by committing suicide.

“It’s all relative,” Yehle said when asked if her school of approximately 750 students has had it worse than others. “We certainly feel a loss for every student, graduate or employee, but it’s difficult when you do have the amount of people every year that we have. There are odds in life.”

A number of activities at Hampden Academy have been postponed in the wake of Clark’s death, including the spring play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” that would have been staged this weekend and the Mock Trial dessert theatre, which was to be held Sunday, March 29. Both will be rescheduled.

“Of course, our thoughts and sympathies go out to the Clark family,” she said.

Visiting hours have been scheduled for 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at Hampden-Gilpatrick Funeral Home at 45 Western Ave. in Hampden, according to the school’s Web site, which can be seen at www.sad22.us/ha/.

The funeral service, however, will be private, according to the Web site.

Progress reported in probe of teen's death

Though police in Hampden are releasing few details, they say they are making headway in their investigation into the death last month of Hampden Academy senior Nathan Clark.

"The investigation is ongoing," Hampden police Cpl. Chris Bailey said Thursday in an interview at the town's police station.

"We're interviewing people that may have had contact with Nathan around the time that he was reported missing," he said. "We've interviewed a number of people, and we're starting to get a clear picture [of the circumstances that led to his death]. I can tell you that we've made some significant progress."

Clark, 17, was reported missing by his father about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, March 22, after he failed to return home that night, police said earlier this week.

The teenager got upset that afternoon and fled into the woods from a house he was visiting in Hampden, according to initial reports.

Word that the teen was missing triggered a series of searches by local police and fire personnel, state police and members of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department, as well as search dogs. Clark's friends and family also conducted searches.

Clark's body was found five days after he went missing by a state game warden and a tracking dog near a gravel pit off Back Winterport Road.

Word of Clark's death saddened and shocked the community. It also triggered an investigation and gave rise to rumors and accusations about what caused or ultimately led to his death.

The body was brought to the state medical examiner's office in Augusta where an autopsy was performed. The cause of death has not been disclosed pending results of toxicology tests.

"It's an emotional time in the community, and there's a lot of finger-pointing going on," Bailey acknowledged Thursday.

"That is going to happen and I understand that, but it's important that we find out the truth and the exact circumstances surrounding Nathan's death," Bailey said.

"When there's a death, especially one of a young person, people want answers," he said. "I feel good at this point that we're getting information that will lead to some answers, but there are some gaps that need to be filled.

"I'm just hoping that if there are people out there who know something, that they share it with us, even if it's not firsthand and even if they think we already know," he said.

Bailey asked anyone who might have information about Clark's death or the chain of events that preceded it to call him or Officer Mark Egan at the Hampden police station at 862-4000.

Boy’s death leads police to charge man, 44


HAMPDEN, Maine — Hampden police have charged a Newburgh man with furnishing drugs to minors and a place for minors to consume alcohol as the result of an investigation into the death of 17-year-old Nathan Clark of Hampden.
Michael Joseph Fortunato, 44, was summoned Monday evening on two counts of aggravated furnishing of Schedule Z drugs, namely prescription muscle relaxers and marijuana, Hampden police Cpl. Chris Bailey said Tuesday in an interview at the Hampden Public Safety complex.
If convicted of the Class C felony charges, Fortunato faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000, Bailey said.
In addition to the drug charges, Fortunato also was charged with providing a place for minors to consume alcohol and he might be charged with furnishing alcohol at a later time, Bailey said.
The Hampden officer said the charges lodged against Fortunato are not directly connected with the cause of Clark’s death.
“It’s premature to make that leap at this time,” he said.
Bailey stressed that other charges could be filed, however, once the case is presented to a grand jury or once the results of an autopsy conducted on Clark by the state medical examiner’s office become available.
The autopsy report won’t be released until the arrival of results of toxicology tests, which are processed out of state, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner said last week.
According to Bailey, the charges filed Monday stem from a gathering on Saturday, March 21, at Fortunato’s home that Clark and an undisclosed number of other juveniles attended.
Clark was reported missing by his father about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, March 22, after he failed to return home that night, according to police.
The teenager reportedly got upset Sunday afternoon and fled into the woods from a house he was visiting in Hampden, according to initial reports.
Word that the teen was missing triggered a series of searches by local police and fire personnel, state police and members of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department, as well as search dogs. Clark’s friends and family also conducted searches.
Clark’s body was found five days after he went missing by a state game warden and a tracking dog near a gravel pit off Back Winterport Road.
Word of Clark’s death saddened and shocked the community. It also triggered an investigation and gave rise to rumors and accusations about what caused or ultimately led to his death.
Information regarding the Clark and Fortunato cases has been turned over to the Penobscot County District Attorney’s Office, Bailey said Tuesday.
He said that Fortunato is scheduled to appear in Penobscot County Superior Court in Bangor on June 26.

Man faces charges in furnishing drugs case

BANGOR, Maine — A Newburgh man was indicted Tuesday by the Penobscot County grand jury on charges resulting from the investigation into the March death of 17-year-old Nathan Clark of Hampden.

Michael Joseph Fortunato, 44, was indicted on two counts of aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs and allowing a minor to possess or consume alcohol.

Fortunato was summoned by the Hampden police earlier this month on the counts of aggravated furnishing. The charges were “aggravated” because they alleged the furnishing of drugs to minors.

The charges stemmed from a gathering on Saturday, March 21, at Fortunato’s home that Clark and an undisclosed number of other juveniles had attended, according to police. Fortunato allegedly furnished teenagers at the party with marijuana and prescription muscle relaxants.

Clark was reported missing by his father about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, March 22, after he failed to return home. The teenager reportedly got upset Sunday afternoon and fled into the woods from a house he was visiting in Hampden, according to initial reports.

Word that the teen was missing triggered searches by local police and fire personnel, state police and members of the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department, as well as search dogs. Clark’s friends and family also conducted searches.

Clark’s body was found five days after he went missing by a state game warden and a tracking dog near a gravel pit off Back Winterport Road. Word of Clark’s death triggered an investigation and gave rise to rumors and accusations about what caused or ultimately led to his death.

Tuesday’s indictment against Fortunato is not directly connected with the cause of Clark’s death, said Michael Robert, deputy district attorney for Penobscot County.

Additional charges could be filed, the prosecutor said, once the autopsy report and results of toxicology tests, which are processed out of state, are released by the medical examiner’s office in Augusta.

Fortunato is scheduled to be arraigned on June 19 in Penobscot County Superior Court. Bail will be set at that time.

If convicted of the aggravated furnishing charges, which are Class C felonies, Fortunato faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Hampden teen died from hypothermia

The office of the state medical examiner has cited accidental environmental hypothermia as the cause of death for a 17-year-old Hampden boy whose body was found in March in a gravel pit.

Though an autopsy was conducted this spring, the cause of Nathan Clark's death had been withheld for nearly five months pending the results of toxicology tests, which are sent out of state to be processed.

Though a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office provided the cause of Clark's death, she declined to say whether drugs or alcohol were considered factors in the hypothermia. The Bangor Daily News is in the process of obtaining the complete autopsy report.

Clark was reported missing by his father about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, March 22, after he failed to return home that night, Hampden police said at that time.

The teenager reportedly became upset that afternoon and fled into the woods from a house he was visiting in Hampden, according to initial reports. Clark last was seen around 11 that night in a gravel pit on Back Winterport Road by a medic in the LifeFlight helicopter, which was flying overhead.

After being discovered by the helicopter's spotlight, the teen reportedly hid.

Word that the teen was missing triggered a series of searches by local police and fire personnel, state police and members of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department, as well as search dogs. Clark's friends and family also conducted searches.

Clark's body was found five days after he disappeared by a state game warden and a tracking dog near the gravel pit where he had been seen earlier that week.

Word of Clark's death saddened and shocked the community. It also triggered an investigation by Hampden police and gave rise to rumors and accusations about what caused or ultimately led to his death.

It was not immediately clear Thursday whether or how the autopsy results might affect the case against a Newburgh man facing criminal charges that stem from the investigation into Clark's death.

Michael Joseph Fortunato, 44, was summoned by the Hampden police on May 4 on two counts of aggravated furnishing Schedule W drugs, namely prescription muscle relaxers. The charges were elevated to aggravated because they alleged the furnishing of drugs to minors.

On May 26, a Penobscot County grand jury indicted Fortunato on two counts of aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, and allowing a minor to possess or consume alcohol.

The charges stemmed from a gathering on Saturday, March 21, at Fortunato's home that Clark and an undisclosed number of other juveniles had attended, according to police. Fortunato allegedly furnished teenagers at the party with marijuana and prescription muscle relaxers.

At the time of the indictment, Penobscot County Deputy District Attorney Michael Roberts said that the indictment against Fortunato was not directly connected with the cause of Clark's death.

Roberts, who could not be reached for comment Thursday, said in May that additional charges could be filed once the autopsy report and results of toxicology tests were released.

Fortunato has pleaded not guilty to the charges, a Penobscot County Superior Court clerk said Thursday. A hearing on Fortunato's motion to suppress evidence in the case is scheduled for next month.

If convicted of the aggravated furnishing charges, which are Class C felonies, Fortunato faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Drugs a factor in Hampden boy’s death
HAMPDEN, Maine — Muscle relaxers taken by a Hampden teen before he became upset and ran off into a local gravel pit contributed to his death from hypothermia, the state’s chief medical examiner concluded in a recently completed autopsy report.

The report, prepared by Chief Medical Examiner Margaret Greenwald, cites accidental environmental hypothermia as the cause of 17-year-old Nathan Clark’s death last spring in a Hampden gravel pit.The report does not change the Penobscot County district attorney’s intent to pursue charges against Michael Joseph Fortunato for unlawful furnishing of drugs, including muscle relaxers, at a gathering attended by Clark the day before he was reported missing. The District Attorney’s Office has indicated the charges are not connected to Clark’s death.

Clark, who was reported missing by his father on March 22, last was seen around 11 that night in a gravel pit on Back Winterport Road by a medic in the LifeFlight helicopter, which was flying overhead. After being discovered by the chopper’s spotlight, the teen reportedly hid.

As word spread that he was missing, the teen became the focus of several searches involving state game wardens, police, tracking dogs, volunteer search and rescue groups and friends and family. His body wasn’t found until five days later, on March 26.

According to the autopsy report obtained Friday by the Bangor Daily News, Clark became hypothermic after he apparently slipped and fell into a stream while intoxicated with the muscle relaxer baclofen.

“The levels of baclofen in the blood are approximately 10 times therapeutic levels,” Greenwald wrote in her report. That amount, she noted, “could be considered toxic, although usually associated with ‘nonfatal’ overdoses. Fatalities due to baclofen alone have even higher levels of drug present.

“The levels, however, are certainly enough to be a significant contributing factor to death in a cold environment,” Greenwald noted. The report notes that neither the time nor the date of Clark’s death could be determined.

Greenwald’s report also noted there were signs of recent heart damage “consistent with an event occurring at least 10 days to two weeks before death.” The scar could be the result of a viral infection, but it also could have been “a complication of cocaine or methamphetamine abuse,” Greenwald noted, further adding, “The history on Nathan is opiate type substance abuse rather than stimulants, and there is no cocaine, amphetamine or methamphetamine or their metabolites in the blood.”

According to a narrative prepared by one of the law enforcement officials involved in the investigation into Clark’s death, the Hampden Academy senior “had prior episodes of both substance abuse and of leaving home” before the chain of events that led to his death.

Police believe that Clark and several other people had acquired baclofen shortly before Clark’s disappearance and that one of them, who was not identified, was treated at a hospital after having ingested 11 of the 20 milligram tablets.

Clark’s friends told police that the teen “may have taken over 20 of the pills” before leaving a Back Winterport Road home where he’d been visiting friends and disappearing into the woods surrounding a nearby gravel pit.

When Clark was found at 1:45 p.m. on March 26, he was lying on his right side with all but his right arm and leg out of the water, according to the narrative. His right foot was pinned under a branch and his left foot was lying on top of that branch.

Uphill from the stream was a campsite in a hollowed-out portion of the stream bank. The campsite consisted of the remains of a fire, a pallet covered with fresh green boughs and a small supply of firewood.

Directly above the branch was a small stump with a scrape mark on it. Clark had abrasions on his nose and forehead as well as his left hand.

In the narrative, the unnamed investigator issues the opinion that Clark “had set up his camp and for some reason started down to the stream. It appears that he slipped on the branch and that some part of his body, possibly his head, struck the protruding stump. This caused him to fall and be partially submerged in the cold water.”

The narrative further notes that air temperatures at the time ranged from below freezing to about 40 degrees.

“Stunned in the fall, [Clark] was probably massively hypothermic before the time he would have regained consciousness. There is certainly no evidence of his attempting to free himself or exit the brook,” the investigator notes.

Regarding the gathering of Clark and others at Michael Fortunato’s home on Saturday, March 21, Hampden police Cpl. Chris Bailey led an investigation that resulted in Fortunato, 44, being summoned on May 4 on two counts of aggravated furnishing Schedule W drugs, namely prescription muscle relaxers. The charges were elevated to aggravated because they alleged the furnishing of drugs to minors.

On May 26, a Penobscot County grand jury indicted Fortunato on two counts of aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, and allowing a minor to possess or consume alcohol.

Fortunato allegedly furnished teenagers at the party with marijuana and prescription muscle relaxers.

At the time of the indictment, Penobscot County Deputy District Attorney Michael Roberts said that the indictment against Fortunato was not directly connected with the cause of Clark’s death.

Asked Friday if the toxicology test results would change the county’s case against Fortunato, Penobscot County District Attorney Chris Almy said: “The answer is no. We knew all about that [the apparent involvement of muscle relaxers]. We already considered that. The charges that we filed are the ones we are going to stay with.”

Fortunato has pleaded not guilty to the charges, a Penobscot County Superior Court clerk said this week. A hearing on Fortunato’s motion to suppress evidence in the case is scheduled for next month.

If convicted of the aggravated furnishing charges, which are Class C felonies, Fortunato faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Family rejects sentence in son’s death
“Please tell me my son’s life is worth more than six months of this man’s time.”

By Judy Harrison
BDN Staff

BANGOR, Maine — A Hampden man Tuesday told a Superior Court judge that sending the Newburgh man he believed caused his 17-year-old son’s death to jail for six months was not enough.

“Please tell me my son’s life is worth more than six months of this man’s time,” Daniel Clark said.

Michael Joseph Fortunato, 45, was sentenced in Penobscot County Superior Court to four years in prison with all but six months suspended and two years of probation for supplying teenagers with marijuana and prescription muscle relaxants at a March 21 party at his home. He was also ordered to pay a mandatory fine of $800.

Nathan Clark, who attended the party, was reported missing by his father about 9:30 p.m. the next day. The boy’s body was found four days later by a state game warden and a tracking dog near a gravel pit off Back Winterport Road.

The autopsy showed that he died of environmental hypothermia caused by a toxic dose of a prescription muscle relaxant, Daniel Clark told Justice William Anderson on Tuesday.

“Mr. Fortunato was the last adult to see my son alive,” the father said. “He provided a warm place for young people to consume drugs and alcohol. Another minor who was at the same party was taken to the hospital that weekend in respiratory distress.”

Nathan Clark’s mother, Denise Clark of Dixmont, told Anderson she did not think a six-month sentence was severe enough after she addressed the defendant directly.

“Michael, you preyed on young adults and children,” she said. “I have buried a son. Something no parent should have to do. I hope the court sees what an awful person you are and protects others from people like you.”

Deputy District Attorney Michael Roberts told the judge that if the case had gone to trial, the evidence would have shown that Fortunato had a party at his home attended by area teenagers and that he supplied them with a prescription muscle relaxant and alcohol. He said that he could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Fortunato furnished Nathan Clark with the toxic level of the drug that the autopsy showed the teenager had in his system when he died.

Fortunato, who had no criminal history, was indicted in May by the Penobscot County grand jury on two counts of aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs, unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs and allowing a minor to possess or consume alcohol. The charges were elevated because he supplied the drugs to minors.

He faced up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000 on the charges to which he plead.

In a plea agreement with the Penobscot County District Attorney’s Office, Fortunato pleaded no contest to the charge of aggravated unlawful furnishing of the muscle relaxant and guilty to the charge of aggravated unlawful furnishing of marijuana. The other two charges were dismissed.

Defense attorney Richard Hartley told Anderson his client pleaded no contest to one of the charges due to the possibility that the Clarks might sue Fortunato, seeking damages in connection with their son’s death, and because of conflicting testimony about the distribution of the muscle relaxant that most likely would have been presented at a trial.

The Clarks told Anderson that while they understood why Roberts had made the agreement he did, they did not agree with it.

Just before the sentence was imposed, Fortunato faced the Clarks and apologized.

“I’m very sorry for what happened,” he said, his voice full of emotion. “If I could change it, I would. Please try to forgive, but never forget. I’m sorry.”

His probation conditions include no contact with minors at his home or other private locations, no use of illegal drugs or alcohol and testing for their use.

Fortunato is to begin serving his sentence at the Penobscot County Jail on Friday.
