Former Secret Service Agent Found Dead at Sandwich Beach

Bernard “Bernie” Milton, a former Secret Service agent for President Johnson, was found dead Wednesday night at East Sandwich Beach, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Police performed CPR on Milton, 80, when they arrived on scene. He was later pronounced dead at the Cape Cod Hospital.

Sandwich Police Chief Peter Wack said it is unclear if he suffered a medical condition or drowned.

This is the fourth body to have been found in an area of water in two weeks on Cape Cod.
